2019 MFP Coordinator Meeting
Building Healthy Programs
On September 12, 2019, MFP Program Staff from throughout the state gathered in Davis for a day of sharing ideas, learning new things and getting excited about our program. The group included representatives from each MFP Program — Program Coordinators, Advisors, and a County Director — and the statewide program staff. We learned about fundraising, volunteer recruitment and retention, and program integration. We were inspired by partnerships and projects happening in the counties. We were focused on "Building Healthy Programs."
