The Fresno C2C backbone is a small, multi-talented group deployed to link, align and leverage the work of local agencies, institutions and stakeholders. Maintaining discipline to a process (informed by the StriveTogether Theory of Action) and ensuring that all partners adhere to the Fresno C2C guiding principles are primary to the work of the backbone. The team focuses on driving innovation, building connectivity and strengthening the civic infrastructure.

Developing this environment includes:

• Building a culture of trust and collaboration
• Launching transformational ideas
• Moving work from instinct to evidence by collecting and connecting data
• Convening and mobilizing networks to coordinate efforts and create efficiencies
• Facilitating small pilots, applying continuous improvement, working toward scale
