Welcome to the Family Strengthening Network Summit 2024

Greetings, Family Strengthening Network teams!

We are very excited to celebrate you at our annual Summit on June 12, 9:00am – 12:30 pm!

This year’s theme is Rising Up to Meet the Moment: Honoring Progress, Shaping Tomorrow — and it is indeed amazing to see how you continue to rise up to meet the moment!

Home visitors, nurses, outreach specialists, hospital liaisons, managers and supervisors, data and admin coordinators — you all play a crucial role in building a stronger and healthier Los Angeles County. And because you’re helping kids get the best start in life, you’re not only making a difference now, but for generations to come. Your commitment to uplifting families and empowering our community really makes a big difference!

We sincerely appreciate you. That’s why we have these summits every year: to express our heartfelt gratitude for the important and inspiring work you do every day.

We also want to provide an opportunity for you to recognize your coworkers. Scroll down to give them a shout-out! (It’s not the reason you do it, but each shout-out you submit by 12:00pm on June 11, 2024, will give you a bonus entry in our Summit raffles. LABBN/F5LA/Work2Live staff not included.)

Thank you again for all you do to help families in L.A. County!

Sincerely,
LA Best Babies Network, on behalf of the Family Strengthening Oversight Entity
(First 5 LA, LABBN, and Work2Live Well)
