Vision
To build collaborative relationships in the southern region of Wisconsin, in order to
enhance services for children birth through age 8 years and their families, through
information sharing, program knowledge and integrated resource delivery.

Statement of Purpose
The Southern Region Networking Partners are an interested group of professionals
who communicate and collaborate for the best interest of children and families in the
counties of Adams, Columbia, Crawford, Dane, Dodge, Grant, Green, Iowa, Juneau,
Lafayette, Richland, Rock and Sauk. This is accomplished by:

  1. Action team members attend Southern Region Collaborating Partners meetings at least 3
    times per year and plan the agendas for general meetings.
  2. The southern region meetings focus on sharing information, agencies’ activities, events &
    best practices for the benefit of children and families and are open to anyone.
  3. We strive to keep current on research, initiatives and trends that affect children and
    families.
  4. We will plan to collaborate on projects, initiatives and best practices to benefit children
    and families.
  5. Annually we will review the southern region action plan and accomplishments of our region.
