It is this rich history that provides the foundation for our long range plans to ensure we continue to meet the current, emerging and future needs of abused and neglected children in our community. This Multi-Year Strategic Plan, developed after a detailed analysis of federal, state and local trends and a review of best practice Child Welfare standard, gives us an infrastructure for moving forward – while simultaneously measuring our progress. 

 

It is an ambitious plan because it was developed with the input of a wide variety of stakeholders such as staff, board members, Citizens Advisory Committee members, foster parents, volunteers, citizens throughout our community and many others. 

 

Simply put, the plan gives us our compass to use as we go forward.

 

We hope you take the time to review this document and will feel free to let us know your thoughts.  On behalf of the entire staff of Summit County Children Services and our Board of Trustees, thank you for your ongoing support of our important work to protect children and strengthen families throughout our community.

 

Sincerely,

 

John Saros, Executive Director
