The
Coordinating
Council
(TCC)
of Calhoun County
Workgroups & Initiatives
The workgroups of TCC do the actual
"work". Without the workgroups and their members, the discussions that
take place at the TCC would never materialize into results.
This page is a tribute to all of those who roll up their sleeves and
strive to positively impact the health of all members of Calhoun County.
If you are a workgroup member, thank you for all you have done to change the
lives of people in our communities. If you're not a workgroup member here
is an opportunity to review the various groups and determine which might be best
for you. The chairs/contacts have been listed along with email addresses so be sure to contact these individuals if you'd like to be involved in
one of these efforts.
Please commend those you know to be part of these workgroups!! These
individuals do most of the work, yet receive few accolades.
Thank you to all of you who are working so hard to make Calhoun County a
place everyone would want to call home.
