Monroe County Family Connection and Bibb County Family Connection (Community Partnership) are dedicated to improving results for children and families in Monroe and Bibb County, Georgia. We are Georgia Family Connection Partnership county collaboratives.

The Boards of Bibb County Family Connection (Community Partnership) and Monroe County Family Connection have entered into a special partnership. By sharing resources, the two GA Family Connection county collaboratives are cutting costs and getting more bang for their buck.  The arrangement allows for Travis Blackwell, current Director of Community Partnership (Bibb County Family Connection) to serve both Bibb and Monroe Counties as the Family Connection Coordinator, with the help of a part-time assistant coordinator, Dawn Freelin.

 The partnership makes sense because many partners in Bibb County have a regional scope which includes Monroe County.  The partnership is an opportunity to strengthen and leverage cross-county relationships.  As adjacent counties, we are stronger together than seperate.

Both organizations bring together a group of service providers, service consumers, residents, educators, elected officials, community leaders and other stakeholders to plan and implement strategies to address community issues. We facilitate collaboration by asking our partners to work together in new and innovative ways to improve access and service delivery to those who need it most. We conduct a community assessment, produce a five-year Strategic Plan, an  Annual Operating plan.
