Our Purpose
Community Collaborative
The Genesee County Community Collaborative (GCCC) is officially recognized as the Multi-Purpose Collaborative Body by the State of Michigan also referred to as Community Collaborative by the State of Michigan, the GCCC is comprised of public and private members working together to coordinate health and human services across systems.
Mission
We collaborate across networks and systems to develop, create and share resources to support and preserve strong healthy families who live in vibrant communities in Genesee County.
The GCCC does this work through established committees and workgroups which have specific goals and objectives. The GCCC and most workgroups meet monthly and consist of representatives from public and non-profit organizations, foundations, health care institutions, and individuals from throughout Genesee County.
The GCCC meets from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month. Meetings are held at the Red Cross located at 1401 S. Grand Traverse St., Flint, MI 48503.
Organizational Structure
The structure of the Community Collaborative will consist of two main bodies. These are 1.) the Steering Committee and 2.) the Community Collaborative. Persons serving on the Steering Committee shall also be members of, and be elected by the Community.
Community Collaborative has working committees designed to address specific issues. The committees are issued specific tasks and report back on a quarterly basis to the Collaborative.
Steering Committee
The Steering Committee is designed to provide special advisory consultation to the Community Collaborative. It is composed of the GCCC Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, and five additional members representing GCCC membership. The Steering Committee serves as the governance body for the Community Collaborative. Their responsibilities include the following:
