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
