The Year of Preparation Pursuit of Excellence
uring this time of preparation, a new software program was implemented for advancement, and consultants were hired for both advancement and finance. A new Human Resources Vice President was hired to assess personnel and their skill set towards carrying out our plan on a level of excellence. Additionally, a new pastor was hired to lead our priority of ensuring spiritual growth for our children and families. Our Executive Council conducted an overall assessment of facilities as we seriously consider the capacity and utilization of our buildings and cottages. A complete review of services and programs included: hiring an intake coordinator to intensely focus on stimulating referrals for Residential Care; bolstering recruitment for Foster Care families by partnering with the South Carolina Baptist Convention; reviewing every element of Family Care and evaluating its potential for growth; and discussions on the best way to expand Crisis Care to include both a boys and girls cottage. With the completion of the “Year of Preparation,” we strengthened our ability to reach our lofty goals and objectives.
