Summit County Children Services is embarking on development of a new multi-year strategic plan, and would like the community to help by attending one of five Community Forums scheduled throughout the county in May.
"One critical component of the strategic planning process now under way at Summit County Children Services is getting input from our community -- about what we can do better to help protect children and strengthen families today and in the future," said Summit County Children Services Executive Director John Saros.
"That's why we've scheduled a series of five Community Forums across the county to give citizens a chance to find out more about what we've been doing -- and to tell us what they think."
The forums are free, and refreshments will be served. For more information, call the Summit County Children Services Community Relations Department at 330-379-2055.
