Collaboration Begins With Relationships

Networking Council

The monthly Networking Council provides an opportunity for community residents and representatives from private and public organizations, faith communities, schools, and businesses to get to know each other. Brief presentations and "infomercials" provide members the opportunity to "get the word out" on various services, programs and initiatives available to residents in the community. Time is also provided each month to "scan the community" in order to identify and respond to emerging issues before they become a crisis. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at City Heights Wellness Center, 4440 Wightman Street, City Heights – 92105. Refreshments are provided.
