APHSA Annual Report 2018

Also of note in 2018 was the release of the National Imperative: Joining Forces to Strengthen Human Services in America —the groundbreaking report, developed in partnership with the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities, Oliver Wyman and SeaChange Capital Partners. This report assessed the health of community-based human services organizations (CBOs) who are integral to the H/HS delivery system and a core partner to public sector agencies. It captures the internal and external forces creating challenges across the sector and provides recommendations under five north star solutions. Several of our members are now working hand-in-hand with CBOs in their communities to implement these recommendations on the ground, and we’ll continue to follow and highlight those efforts as they move from concept to reality. Thank you again for your continued support of our collective mission to improve the lives of the people you serve every day by building well-being from the ground up. We look forward to working with you, our members and partners, to promote innovation throughout the H/HS system in 2019 and beyond.

Best regards,

Tracy Wareing Evans American Public Human Services Association (APHSA) President and CEO
