Innovation is a process—a journey of discovery. With 1,700 data points of guidance from 42 state "innovationists" from 12 state departments, along with the strategic advisory of more than 30 state leaders, has led us to the starting gate for a Beta-Test deployment of the SACNet Skills Bank 2021!

It's all those little steps that count—kudos to Cohort 2019 and the leadership guiding them. Achieving a milestone is a product of dedication and commitment—not luck. Over the past month, the COVID-19 pandemic is again accelerating—not just in California but across the nation. Our need to access the State's depth of skill, capability, experience and resolve has never been more critical. The acceleration in Beta-testing has moved from onboarding individuals to onboarding departments - The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and the Department of Water Resources are the collaborative leads for this exciting effort!

The SACNet Skills Bank brings the potential to ENGAGE and unite the best of all of who we are in REAL-TIME. But the vehicle of change and the hybrid fuel of activation is YOU! Living up to and into Governor Newsom's proclamation is about the tough decisions to collectively bend the curve in a thoughtful and pragmatic way. The time is NOW to "Activate California!"
