Who is Greater Hartford Convention & Visitors Bureau

The Greater Hartford Literacy Council is a non-profit program formed in January 2001 as an outgrowth of recommendations made by the City of Hartford Task Forceon Adult Literacy in 2000. Responding to the call for a coordinating council for literacy were the founding partners: the City of Hartford, Hartford Public Schools, Capital Workforce Partners and the Hartford Public Library. These sponsors are major stakeholders in the delivery of literacy-related services in Hartford and the Greater Hartford region and play an integral role as an advisory team to the Literacy Council. The organizational structure of the Literacy Council includes: A board of directors that oversees, supports and promotes Literacy Council activities The founding partners who meet periodically to consider service enhancements and areas of collaboration More than 100 organizations, businesses and individuals who comprise our membership We have carefully crafted our organizational structure and programming to include support from the major stakeholders in the region, and to be inclusive in the identification of needs, assets, and issues. Indeed, we are the only regional organization planning for the literacy needs of Greater Hartford residents from birth through adulthood. Our impact is within the 35 towns in the Greater Hartford area with an initial emphasis on Hartford, as it has the greatest need. By working collaboratively with our members to strengthen their organizations, their services, and the systems in which they operate, our efforts will result in enhanced service delivery and ultimately lead to improved literacy levels. The Literacy Council is a member of Literacy USA. They provide technical assistance and other support we are able to share with our membership. With nearly 100 members, the Literacy Council represents the interests of most literacy providers and many human service providers in Greater Hartford.Read More
