configuration for the LNCDCEstablish the LNCDC structure for 2011-12Enlist the membership Get it going!!
LNCDC – Who We Are50+ non-profit members representing the
essential human services agencies of N. Meck / S. Iredell
Private citizens who care about their communityMembers of the faith communityGovernment officialsDiverse groups with diverse areas of focus, all
centered on improving their communities in the Lake Norman area and the lives of the people in them
LNCDC – WHY We AreCommunication – Collaboration - AdvocacyTo spread awareness by bringing together
service providers to share information and discuss issues impacting housing, healthcare, education, and social/family issues in our four towns
To advocate and build momentum for social change
To build collaboration and increase the effectiveness of member agencies in individual and joint efforts
LNCDC – What We AreGrassroots collaborative A powerful network of agencies and
individualsSignificant force for change with phenomenal
potentialPeople working with their “spare time” to
make a difference because they understand the importance
LNCDC – What We’ve DoneList of deliverables we’ve produced or
impacted is impressive
BUT….The major benefits of the LNCDC to our
clients have been the results of the relationships, the network, the collaboration that have evolved among our members.
LNCDC – How We’ve Grown
Org Structures in the PastStarted with 5 subcommittees (Health, Housing,
Transportation, Families in Crisis, Education)Added 2 more in 2005 – Latino Outreach,
Transitional Housing2006-2008 – Dropped to 4 –Education, Health,
Housing, Social Issues2008-2009 – Added Advocacy2009-2010 – “Decommissioned” committees in
favor of “action teams”
Opportunities in 2011UW creating new Community Needs Assessment
Most likely focuses: Health, Education, Housing “Stability” issues, e.g., domestic violence, included in these 3
Community Catalyst Project Most likely focus: collaboration between and optimization of
agenciesLocal Issues
Example: ongoing issue of N. Meck MagistrateNeed to Recruit New Members
Agencies not attending, esp. in S. IredellNeed to re-structure
“Spare time” and self-directed action teams not working
LNCDC – OrganizationYou’re about to see a proposed organization
Straw man– please give input, make recommendationsThoughts that went into the design
This is a spare time activity for us all – need to minimize the workload to that which we can actually accomplish Only one committee report/mth
We don’t spend nearly enough time taking care of the LNCDC itself
The UW/CC studies will not be finished until laterWe have local issues that need attentionWe need to do more outreach to other agencies, and
more publicity about the LNCDC itself
