Next Juneau MAPP meeting

4/5/2011 at 2pm at the AEYC (Association for the Education of Young Children), the Juneau Empire building.
Agenda:

• Discuss values
• Plan for next step - Four MAPP assessments

What's Next?

Now that we have created a vision, it is time to take the next turn on our community road map to health; assessment! MAPP brings 4 unique and comprehensive assessments together to drive the development of a community strategic plan 

• The Community Themes and Strengths Assessment identifies themes that interest and engage the community, perceptions about quality of life, and community assets.
• The Local Public Health System Assessment measures the capacity of the local public health system to conduct essential public health services.
• The Community Health Status Assessment analyzes data about health status, quality of life, and risk factors in the community.
• The Forces of Change Assessment identifies forces that are occurring or will occur that will affect the community or the local public health system.

***If you are interested in chairing an assessment team or participating on one please email/call Nicole Ferraro at AEYC (nferraro@aeyc-sea.org, 789-1235) and please not which of the 4 you are interested in***

Thank you for being a part of this process and for understanding that it will take time for this body to produce meaningful and sustainable change. All of this communication, research and planning is crucial to our success. 

3/16/11 Meeting: Vision Statement

Vision statement (via Wikipedia): Defines the desired or intended future state of an organization or enterprise in terms of its fundamental objective and/or strategic direction. Vision is a long-term view, sometimes describing how the organization would like the world to be in which it operates. For example, a charity working with the poor might have a vision statement which reads "A World without Poverty."

At the 3/16 meeting the following was produced to serve as our vision statement for a healthy Juneau: 

A Thriving Community – Engaging a diverse and intergenerational population and ensuring access to an exceptional quality of life.
