five children the importance of sharing their gifts with the broader community, and to give them and future generations an enduring way to continue the family’s philanthropic legacy

• The five adult children and their spouses served on the family foundation board• Focus Areas were selected and studied by all family members• The Zeist name came from the town where the family lived in Holland while Dr. Brumley

was on sabbatical

Partners for Equity in Child and Adolescent Health

• Lessons Learned – Public Private Partnerships are vital for sustainability (federal/state/county/district)– Support for children and families requires

coordination and/or integration of services (health/education/human services)

– Return on investment has short and long term dividends

(school attendance/health benefits/family stability)
