THE HOUSTON COUNTY CLCP AND ITS PARTNERS
Involving Business Partners

Businesses are another key partner for the CLCP; they have been involved since its inception. Not only do representatives of business serve on the CLCP board, they provide financial support to the program and participate in fund-raising activities such as the annual big band concert. The CLCP has been an annual feature at the "Eggs and Issues" breakfast sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce to discuss progress and challenges in the area of adult literacy. As a result of this continuing outreach, businesses help to recruit learners by identifying employees with literacy needs and providing information through their human resources departments about literacy services.
