  • Education, Income, & Health
    EDUCATION, INCOME, & HEALTH JANUARY 2015 FIRST ANNUAL REPORT CARD WHEN WEONE UNITE AS WE CHANGE EDUCATION, INCOME, & HEALTH THE STORY OF MANY UNITED WAY OF THE BIG BEND underwent a vitally important strategic planning process that engaged hundreds of volunteers and residents in the fall of 2013 and early winter of 2014. This process was aimed at positioning us to better serve the region and to more directly apply our energies and the community’s valuable investments to solve critical problems. Through this process, our community identified issues in three key areas – EDUCATION, INCOME, and HEALTH. In answer to the community, our organization is working to address these issues through a collaborative Council System. This report is UWBB’s first Annual Report Card, updating the community on our progress in working to address these issues. This report details those issues, outlines our goals, and gives our progress to date. This report also includes a list of those members that are serving on each of the councils established. As you can see, every sector of our community has a seat at each of the three tables and are working collaboratively to create solution-based strategies. Imagine a community where we know that all children are ready to learn when they start school, where every child graduates from high school, where the working poor are provided opportunities to improve their financial position, and where the Big Bend becomes the healthiest group of counties in the state. All of these things are possible … Ron Sachs, UWBB Board Chair Heather R.
