SUMMARY:Crisis Management and Crisis Communications
DESCRIPTION:In their book\, “The Risk Intelligent Enterprise\,” authors Funston and Wagner write that “the crisis you plan for may not be the one you experience\, but any preparation will serve you well.” While it’s virtually impossible to forecast the timing\, source\, and scope of the next crisis you’ll face\, there are steps every Community Action Agency can and should take to build crisis management and crisis communications readiness. This webinar outlines practical steps you can take this year to establish best-in-class crisis management and crisis communications capabilities. Attendees can expect to explore everything from forming crisis teams and critical operations teams to drafting statements that can be adapted to suit the crisis and more.\n\nClick here to register for the webinar.

SUMMARY:Child Tax Credit Awareness Day Webinar with OCS\, OHS\, and NCAP
DESCRIPTION:NCAP is pleased to announce that Dr. Lanikque Howard of the Office of Community Services (OCS) and Ann Linehan of the Office of Head Start (OHS) will be joining us for the National Community Action Partnership Child Tax Credit (CTC) Awareness Day webinar on Monday\, June 21st at 3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 1:00 PM MT / 12:00 PM PT. \nThe CTC is a critical component to ending poverty in America\, and is a proven method to cut child poverty in half. The Network plays a vital role in creating this reality. Community Action and Head Start staff connect directly with customers almost every day and they are trusted messengers.  They play a key role in elevating the visibility and impact the CTC benefit can provide for families\, even those who did not file taxes. The process will also allow families who may not have received the previous stimulus payments to receive those funds now.  In some cases\, this would be a substantial amount of money\, lifting their families up during this challenging time. \nIt is important to share this information with staff who engage directly with families and have them register to attend. You and your staff can register for the event here. \nTo learn more about the Child Tax Credit\, visit the new White House CTC Expansion page. Also\, view the Biden Administration’s announcement of Child Tax Credit Awareness Day and click here to view a flyer about the CTC from the White House.

SUMMARY:Answering the $1 Billion Question: Data-Driven Strategies for Demonstrating Impact from CARES-Funded Activities
DESCRIPTION:CAA’s have been at the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic from Day One. This is one of the reasons Congress entrusted the Community Action Network with $1 billion to support critical Readiness\, Rapid Response\, Recovery and Resilience activities across the Network. As we begin to look back at the past year\, how do we effectively tell the story of our work? Which data should we highlight? More specifically: \n\nHow have we differentiated customers related to CARES funding from customers we would have otherwise served and how do we use the data from those two groups effectively. Or\, if we only have one group – customers – how do our data show CARES funding really did provide our communities with the ability to reach more families?\nHow are we capturing outcome data in an environment where immediate\, urgent services are the priority?\nHow are we preparing our community stakeholders for differences between what we “officially” report through the CSBG Annual Report and the work we have actually done?\n\nJoin the National Community Action Partnership’s Data Ambassadors for a discussion of how CAAs can effectively “connect the dots” for community stakeholders to demonstrate the tremendous work the network has accomplished and the impact it has had on families and communities across the country. \nClick here to register for the webinar.
