EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS ROUNDTABLE
On Wednesday, November 16, 2011, Tempe Community Council (TCC) had the honor to host 19 Executive Directors from across the Valley representing a full continuum of human services at the annual Executive Director's Roundtable. This convening is an opportunity for professionals across the varied fields of human services to meet, network, and share insight from the field.
The following trends were identified from this year's Roundtable:
- Increased number of families in need, rather than just single parent
- Arizona must begin to address the need of health care and the Affordable Care Act on vulnerable populations
- The network for those with disabilities is so strained that it will begin to affect other human service populations and services (homeless, youth, etc.) - this population has unique needs requiring specialized care
- Agencies are seeing the necessity in increased partnership and collaboration in a holistic manner
We appreciate this opportunity to hear from our "frontline" providers as we tackle the needs of our most vulnerable residents. Several of these partners qualify for the Working Poor Tax Credit, learn more online: http://www.azdor.gov/TaxCredits/WorkingPoorTaxCredit.aspx |
