Connect Now Connect Now is the community engagement initiative of The Education Foundation of Collier County that came about early in 2008 in an effort to bring our community together to improve public education and community life. It began with an 18-month process in which citizens all across Collier County participated in conversations around what they wanted for the community and schools. The culmination of this process was a Community Statement, which was published in April 2009. The initiative continues to create environments for productive conversation and to ultimately provide an opportunity for collaborative and organizational leadership in support of schools. |
