MHRB Initiatives
We face ongoing challenges in 2013. We will need to run a levy campaign in Clark County. I will ask the Board to make a recommendation to the Clark County Commissioners regarding placing a renewal or replacement levy on the November ballot. Levies provide about 70% of our revenue, so every levy is critically important. If we are going to continue our efforts around prevention and community engagement we will need to increase our investment. I will discuss with the Executive Committee a plan to increase our ability to focus on community engagement, prevention, coalition building, and program evaluation. If the Executive Committee approves the plan it will be presented to the full Board for discussion and action. This will occur in the spring for potential implementation at the start of the new fiscal year. 
Public awareness is always a challenge. I recently was interviewed by WYSO Radio for their weekend program. The link is included below. I also recently wrote a short essay related to the tragedy in Sandy Hook. The essay has been posted on our website and posted on Face Book, and sent directly to our state Department Directors. We are working with local newspapers, but as always it is difficult to get their attention.
2013 promises to be busy and challenging but I also believe there will be opportunities to make a significant and positive contribution to the citizens of Clark, Greene, and Madison Counties. Thank you for your ongoing commitment and dedication.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kent Youngman, CEO
