APHSA 2015 Annual Report

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

DEAR VALUED APHSA MEMBER, We are pleased to share the 2015 American Public Human Services Association (APHSA) Annual Report, highlighting the work we have accomplished with and through member agencies like yours across the country. We are gearing up for what promises to be an active 2016 to assure we continue to help the field progress along the Human Services Value Curve, resulting in positive and lasting outcomes for families and communities. We continue to expand our network of partners and relationships both in Washington and across the nation, assuring that together we are leveraging the resources, expertise, and influence of a broad spectrum of policymakers and human-serving agencies – from Congress and the Administration, to allied associations, to our expanding circle of private and nonprofit sector stakeholders. You can count on APHSA to continue leading the field as we explore and connect you with the newest innovations in policy and practice, agency governance and management, and such disciplines as brain science that are opening up new areas of understanding and opportunity. Thanks for all you do to keep us heading along this exciting path of transformation!

Tracy Wareing Evans Executive Director, American Public Human Services Association
