Where We’re Going – 2013 and beyond

• Setting local, community-wide goals

• Integrating Education, Income and Health

• Greater alignment to drive performance & execution


What’s in it for me?

• It’s not enough to produce outputs or serve clients; we have to move the needle with our partners

• Education, Income and Health problems are interconnected

• The root causes of issues require coordinated responses

• Organizations in our communities can’t solve these problems alone, and neither can United Ways

• Inconsistency and inefficiency are stifling our progress – and children and families pay the price
