MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTAND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Because you are taking the time to read this report, we knowyou are among those who pay attention to social welfareissues and are aware that the present climate is not a healthyone. As a result of economic pressures on the federal, stateand county agencies responsible for the delivery of socialservices, these government sources are significantlychallenged in meeting existing obligations, let alone newones. Cuts in funding have led to diminished capacity andprogram closures. Many of these reductions are in preventionservices. Private agencies, such as Tabor, have not beenable to close the gap between what is needed and theresources that exist to address those needs, as funddevelopment strategies have been compromised by theeconomic factors. This leads to the question: Where do we gofrom here?
The Alliance for Children and Families, a national advocacyorganization, recently released a strategic planning reportsuggesting the challenging environment can provide theimpetus for moving forward rather than remaining in place.The Alliance's report identifies six disruptive forces that aredefined as revolutionary shifts in planning and programdevelopment rather than the more traditional change byevolution. Three of the forces are especially applicable tochild welfare: 1) demands for impact by public and privatefunding sources; 2) willingness to accept risk as a dimensionof organizational strategy in the pursuit of solutions to addresssocietal issues; and 3) attracting investors that valueperformance and results and are, therefore, willing to investcapital that will lead to a reasonable return on investment.
One can understand how these forces are identified asdisruptive, in that initially they will disturb the equilibrium thatgoverns the delivery of services. However, it is incumbentupon planners in both the public and private sectors torecognize the need for new methods of service delivery andstrategies to finance the new directions. Remaining in placeis not an option. The risks may be daunting and the rewardsfar from clear at this point, but accepting the concept thatdisruptive forces may lead to a better service delivery systemif viewed pro-actively will enable agencies to stay true to theirmissions to serve those in need.
We remain grateful to you, our supporters, for recognizing theimportance of the Tabor mission and valuing our work onbehalf of children, youth and families. Thank you.
