This represents a major change in the focus of the Board's activities. For the first time, we authorized expenditures from the Sustaining Fund. Now, JVS professionals have access to a worksite computer. We established the JVS Endowment Foundation to build a funding base for the long term. Our four major task forces completed their first round of work and are prepared to start a second.
Expanded knowledge is a foundation for increased resources.
JVS Board members are volunteers. We've been able to sustain a dedicated Board because Board members learn about the accomplishments of the Agency and the value of those accomplishments to the well being of the community. With the help of all of our partners, JVS strives to maintain its quality standards in serving diverse needs while balancing flat public and private funding and successfully meeting the ongoing employment and training challenges of the community.
