I was fortunate enough to share my favorite things about Girls on the Run International at an International Women’s Day Fun Run/Walk with Women of the Wasatch in collaboration with Girls on the Run Utah. Here are some of my favorite things about Girls on the Run: GotR has served 2 million + girls across North America since 1996 and 17,000 in Utah since 2007. Independent studies show: 97% of girls learned critical life skills including resolving conflict, helping others, and making intentional decisions. 97% of participants agree they can be themselves at GotR. 85% of participants improved in confidence, caring, competence, character development, or connection to others. 40% increase in physical activity among girls who were least active at the program’s start. It’s a one of a kind program that focuses on the importance of the mind-body connection. Its combination of targeted lessons and physical activity instilling confidence and compassion in every girl. Let me know if you’re interested in making an impact. 😊

Head Start challenge: the next time you are in an uber, doctor’s office, elevator, or any waiting situation with another adult, ask them if they have heard of Head Start! This handy graphic gives the elevator speech that can change someone’s life!! It did for me😍❤️📊 #livedexperience #headstart

2nd attempt to post. Though at DEA they are not so proud to highlight their shortcomings that they have no issue hiding from taxpayers. They removed my previous posts which simply expresses DEA's willingness to hide their incompetence and disabled comments on the appropriate post. If this firm put out the truth and numbers of how many things they had to redo on this Highway 20 Safety Upgrade between Corvallis and Albany OR taxpayers would have something to say about this firm’s laughable ranking. How about it DEA, put out an itemized list of everything that had to be done two or three times because it wasn’t done right in the first place and how much taxpayers money was wasted in the process. In my driveway alone they had to do multiple things more than once. No wonder ODOT never comes in on budget with incompetence like this! Taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for this! DEA was contracted for at least the Newberg-Dundee Bypass, the worst one, up 239% from original estimate. https://lnkd.in/epv6uESx

At Fostering Great Ideas, we annually increase the number of children served and the levels of support provided each child. How? We operate from core values that haven't changed (children matter; relationships are key; communities can respond together). We are also real big into stating our vision clearly and focusing on the strategic plan. Here is our end year piece: https://lnkd.in/e736-x-t

Is your school a neighborhood school? Do partnerships in the community drive value for the students and families you serve? This week I had the opportunity to discuss the strategic role of community partnerships with Jemia Cunningham-Elder, CEO at North Lawndale College Prep in Chicago. We got into: - Evaluating community sentiment - What types of partnerships you might want to look for - Potential pitfalls when leveraging partnerships - Practical considerations for operationalizing programs/partnerships - How partnerships can offer unique opportunities otherwise not possible - The role of a leader/CEO in driving community engagement - much more!
