This report is dedicated to the memory of Tim Jaasko-Fisher , whose leadership is forever imprinted on Washington ’ s child care system . As facilitator of the Child Care Collaborative Task Force , Tim designed inclusive and effective meetings . He was wise , kind , strategic , patient and accepting – and absolutely brilliant . We unexpectedly lost Tim in October . His ability to create a trusting and collaborative space allowed the task force to come to agreement on these significant recommendations , as well as those in our previous reports . He is missed by us all .
