Pathways to Excellence

Pathways to Excellence is the national Partnership's capacity building initiative. This initiative focuses on getting organizations started on their own unique journey toward excellence using the Self-Study and Comprehensive Feedback Process as diagnostic tools for setting agency improvement priorities. Keep in mind that you can't improve what you don't measure, and you can't set in motion an improvement strategy if you don't first establish "what's most important" to improve, and where you need to begin.

ELITE

Cal/Neva Capacity Building and T&TA Resources

Cal/Neva offers a variety of capacity building and training & technical assistance resources to CSBG eligible entities each year. These activities are funded through our contracts with the California Department of Community Services & Development and the federal Administration for Children and Families, Office of Community Services. Cal/Neva encourages your agency to review the resources listed below and request a resource/training by calling Cal/Neva at (916) 443-1721. All resources and trainings listed below are offered free of charge to your agency – please take advantage of these opportunities!

Peer to Peer Trainings

Peer to Peer training is utilized when a peer requesting assistance is matched with an expert peer to deliver training on a specific topic area. Examples of peer to peer trainings include financial management, human resources, community development and board administration. These trainings are designed to utilize the CSBG peer network to improve innovation and creativity. Request a peer to peer training today.

Tripartite Board Trainings

Cal/Neva is pleased to offer with tripartite Board trainings to CSBG eligible entities. These trainings are provided by Cal/Neva’s Executive Director, Tim Reese, who covers the following topics: history, philosophy and current challenges of Community Action and the roles, rights and responsibilities of the tripartite Board.

Outside Consultants

Do you have a specific need or challenge that would benefit from training provided by an expert consultant? Cal/Neva can arrange for a consultant to come to your agency and provide training (or a series of trainings/meetings) – examples of topics that can be provided include sustainability planning, executive director recruitment & retention and fiscal systems consulting. 

Peer Roundtables

Throughout the year, Cal/Neva coordinates peer “Roundtable” small group meetings. The roundtable concept is to have Community Action professionals convene on a particular subject or topic to strengthen skills, form relationships and share field-tested practices. This year, Cal/Neva will be coordinating the following roundtables:

• Administration Roundtable – held in-person prior to every CAC meeting in Sacramento
• Finance Roundtable – held via conference call
• Marketing Roundtable – held via conference call & webinar

Education & Events

RPIC

Funded through the Office of Community Services (OCS) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), a cooperative agreement supports ongoing State, regional, and National T/TA strategies for collaboration, capacity-building, and exemplary practice in the CSBG program and among State Community Action Agency Associations.

Eleven Regional Performance and Innovation Consortia (RPIs) are funded for 2-years to serve as regional focal points and lead the development of a comprehensive and integrated system of T/TA capacity-building activities.  Each Regional Performance and Innovation Consortia (RPIC) coordinates regional T/TA activities among State Associations with the central mission of ensuring that all CSBG-eligible entities are able to meet high-quality performance standards and utilize evidence-informed service approaches to address the identified needs of low-income people in communities.  

RPIs institute a regional approach for T/TA coordination and information dissemination; foster efforts that promote the primary mission of the RPIs; and work in partnership with OCS and established national CSBG technical assistance centers focused on performance management, risk mitigation and quality improvement, legal compliance, as well as two new Centers of Excellence focused on Results Oriented Management and Accountability (ROMA) Next Generation practices and Organizational Performance Standards.
