Managing For Sustainability Mountain Projects Community Action Agency Patsy Davis, Executive Director

My world….

About Mountain Projects… Serving the community since 1965 Programs.. 52 State, local and federal grants including: Children's Services Senior Services Public Transportation Prevention Services Health Care Navigator Program New Homeownership Program Section 8 Rental Assistance Housing Rehab Programs Food Services

Some Experiences….. “Bring your personal tax information and be at the IRS office at 9:00 a.m.” “Are you Patsy Dowling?, I have a summons to serve.” “Hi Patsy, I need you to take over domestic violence services today.” “Will you take over some apartments”?

After Before

Operating reserve…-0

After After After

Good Intentions…. When something is too good to be true…run!

In most cases….cash flow IRS- Checks were generated, Board signed, filed in a desk drawer. Sued personally and professionally for serving on an unmet needs committee following two floods. Reservation of Rights Letter! No D & O Insurance. Affordable housing project drained the cash flow.

Lessons Learned Directors and Officers Liability Insurance- ask for a copy of the current policy. Profit and Loss statements/Independent Audit Grant applications for the original budgets Cash on hand/Operating Reserve/Cash Flow

Continued….. Debarment list 990’s Local Police Department Risk Assessments

Good Intentions

Mergers…. Efficiency Economics Sustainability Purchase Power

Items I am considering… Written Agreements between Boards that include Dispute resolutions Professional facilitator Staff Morale Funding sources requirements Variety of models to encourage independence to maintain services that are best for the community.
