After three years of focused work on organizational development, including work to integrate OD into their ongoing activities for the long term, the organization has achieved many of its goals. In VESEEHC’s Final Report to the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation (MRBF) in November 1998, Dr. Carter notes: “The OD work conducted over the past three years has brought VESEEHC to a much higher level of organizational maturity. We changed executive directors and acquired a development director, a controller, an early childhood education coordinator, and a transitional program coordinator. We bought and installed very sophisticated accounting hardware and software. We developed program designs and policy guidelines for all programs and administrative functions. We conducted a detailed analysis of program outcomes and set up a system for tracking and reporting accomplishments. We broadened our funding base and increased support from national foundations. Our most significant remaining problem is to institutionalize our financial support so that we are able to maintain all the program work we have initiated.”
