EIP Provider Fair- Door Prize Winners!!

On June 15, 2010, MCCOY’s EIP team hosted the first annual EIP Provider Fair, launched the strategic plan Early Intervention and Prevention: Building a Foundation for Family and Community Success and issued a call to action for service providers, concerned citizens, community members and service recipients to assist in implementing the plan.

The Provider Fair’s creative “speed-dating” format enabled 32 exhibiting agencies to share information on their services with 156 attendees from 102 organizations that serve youth and families in Marion County. The traditional exhibit model has attendees walk past booth after booth to collect brochures and “goodies” but does not provide the best opportunities for conversations that may lead to new collaborations. The EIP Provider Fair capitalized on a speed-dating format to give each attendee time (during three-minute rounds) to hear about every exhibitor’s mission, services, locations, referral process and other useful information.

MCCOY hopes the non-traditional event will lead to new partnerships and collaborations, increased referrals and improved capacity to serve children and families in Marion County.
