Month: May 2023

I wish you wonder, joy, and a bit of your OWN childhood folded into your everyday.

For me, tree climbing has been a fun way to get a fresh perspective, literally, and share one of my favorite pastimes with my kids.

Embrace these days,
Sherika

FCI Centralized Data System 2.0 (2023 Migration Plan)

We are ready to begin the project to migrate to a new Salesforce platform to better support community partners and FCI operations, and ultimately enable us to better serve families.

Many of you attended one of the informative webinars held May 9-11. That should have given you a frame of reference for what is coming over the next nine months. We will begin work on this project in early June and started it with a formal project Kick Off.

View the Kick Off visual slides (PDF) used in this formal presentation.
