uman services is in a world of
volatility, uncertainty, complexity,
and ambiguity, but this is also a
time of unprecedented opportu-
nity for us to get underneath root
causes and truly make sure more
people have equal access and opportunity to reach
their full potential. Rapid change is occurring in
science and technology, demographics related to
age and ethnicity are significantly shifting, and
the demand for impact and integrated services
has never been greater. Are we ready to seize this
unprecedented moment?
The Alliance for Strong Families and
Communities has a remarkable national network
of more than 450 private nonprofit human service
organizations. I am honored that our board of
directors includes Tracy Wareing Evans, execu-
tive director of APHSA, and I am proud to serve
as a member of APHSA’s governing board. The
Alliance is energized to partner with APHSA in
moving the human services value curve from
dream to reality by being excellent in our work
and by generating resources with our public-
sector colleagues.
Together, we are a mighty force.
