Summary
The most significant event of 2013 was the resignation of Jack Sharpe in April and the
election of Judy Chambers as the new Chair. Jack had served in this capacity since 2006.
Dave Finch, V.P. Public, conducted meetings for several months and Judy took over at
the September meeting.
2013 was a challenging year in the Partnership's history. The membership experienced a
continued decline in both attendance and participation. The average attendance was 9.4
out of 22.0 which meant we were unable to conduct business at most meetings. The
October speaker was rescheduled to November due to very low attendance. Efforts are
currently being made to increase membership and an ad hoc committee has identified a
list of potential organizations to consider. Current members are being encouraged to be
more committed to attend and participate. Future discussions and planning will include
defining the Partnership's role and purpose in the community.
The Partnership met eight times at the CASD. The meetings in January and March were
called off due to the schools being closed because of poor weather. The months of August
and December are never on the meeting schedule. Meetings in 2014 will be at the
Chamber of Commerce on the third Tuesday with the hope this place and time will be
better for the members.
The Diversity Committee met several times this year with the focus on improving
communication between the community and the non—English speaking population. LIU,
CASD and Erik Mandell provided a summer school for migrant worker's children. On
July 31 some of the local financial organizations met with the children's parents to help
them better understand and obtain these types of services.
In 2011 the Partnership signed a Memo of Understanding (MOU) with Shippensburg
University (SU) to establish the Executive Volunteer Connector Service (SVCS). Due to
a number of circumstances the partnership between the SVCS and SU is being
discontinued. The demise of the EVCS effectively ends the need for the MOU between
our Partnership and SU. We have asked SU to review any remaining funds we originally
provided ($5000) by us and recognition of an official termination of our relationship.
We ended the year with a cash balance of$3036. Our expenses of$ 13,242 were $ 3942
greater than our income of$9300 as a result of charging only 75% of what is provided in
the by-laws. Since our 2014 budget is based on the same 75% we will end next year with
only $1183 with no provision for any unexpected expenses or projects. Future years will
require a return to 100% or reduction of expenses.
It has been a pleasure to serve another year as executive director.

come together to identify and discuss issues of importance and serving as a catalyst
leading the community to improvement in the quality of life.
