Leadership Council
“Fresno’s Cradle to Career systems leaders center every decision on what matters most: better outcomes for students. That shared commitment is one of our community’s greatest strengths as we invest in the next generation.”
Dr. Michele Cantwell-Copher, Fresno County Superintendent of Schools
The coalition of anchor partners that make up the Fresno C2C Leadership Council creates a shared operating environment for partners serving families raising children. Together they create a relationship-rich city and county, uproot isolation between sectors and drive policy and resource alignment.
