2025 CCRN Strategic Planning

The Child Care Resource Network (CCRN) is developing a strategic plan to guide its work over the next 5 years to continue to help families find child care, educate and empower child care providers, and advocate for children. A key starting point for our work is hearing from people like you who are familiar with CCRN’s work and have ideas about our future. Please consider taking the survey below to offer feedback on where we are now as an organization, how we can build on our strengths and successes, and where to focus our efforts. Your feedback will inform and improve the strategic plan that we eventually adopt. Thank you in advance for your time and your ideas. All responses will be anonymous.
