Henry David Thoreau Letter from the Executive Director Dear Leadership Jacksonville alumni and friends, For 40 years Leadership Jacksonville has educated, connected and inspired diverse leaders from across Northeast Florida. Wow! Two thousand adults have participated in our core adult program during this period and are building and strengthening their communities. The 2015-16 Yearbook cover shows a stunning array of area trees. Trees were intentionally chosen this year for their obvious representation of the reach of our alumni. Participants in our adult, youth, college and new leader programs form the roots of our community – they are the base upon which much good happens but their work isn’t always seen. The product of your efforts branches and spreads across our region and many of the great things that happen in Northeast Florida are the result of the vision, hard work and collaboration of our alumni. I am often reminded of a favorite quote, “The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.” Nelson Henderson As a result of 40 years of hard work by alumni, staff and community volunteers and generous financial support, Leadership Jacksonville continues to plant trees. Our community is a better place because of your leadership, vision and action. Thank you.

On September 16, 2014, the completed and approved Launch Strategy was submitted to the Groundwork USA board, which commended both the Feasibility Study and the Launch Strategy and offered an enthusiastic go-ahead for the launch of Groundwork Jacksonville! The Groundwork Jacksonville Steering Committee, comprised of local city, non-profit, community and business representatives, was formed primarily to respond to the vast need for environmental and community revitalization in the Historic Springfield and Eastside neighborhoods bordering downtown Jacksonville. Their application to establish a Groundwork Trust in Jacksonville was approved in October 2013, and work on the feasibility study began in earnest in January 2014. The feasibility study process was undertaken and completed by the Groundwork Jacksonville Steering Committee in partnership with Groundwork USA, with guidance from the National Park Service’s Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This process was designed to identify on-the-ground project and program needs in the community, assess existing assets and resources, and outline a structured plan for establishing Groundwork Jacksonville that would address these needs and make its community-driven vision of restoration and renewal a reality.
