Results-based Strategic Plan for Investments 2011-2015 Download (pdf, 1.3 MB) Educational workshops began the process, and covered the results-based accountability planning tools, review of data on the state of child well-being in the county, and information about effective strategies to influence desired results. Individual board member input was gathered at several time points through survey methods, as well as workshops at an all-day Board retreat to discuss the initial prioritization of results and investments for the next five years. A draft strategic investment plan was released for review and public comment, and The Trust convened three public forums for community input on the proposed priorities before a revised version was brought to The Children's Trust Board for review and final approval.All materials from the meetings listed below can be found on the Agenda and Meeting Minutes download page, under Board of Directors Agenda and Meeting Minutes in About Us.
