2. ESUCC: Update ESUCC Progress Update As we reflect upon where we have been and where we are going, it is significantly important to keep in mind a snapshot of progress made through our collective efforts. As we all know and understand, the ESUCC was created through the passage of LB 603 in 2007 with the official beginning date for this endeavor beginning July 1, 2008. The overall charge for the ESUCC has been and continues to be the coordination of statewide services regarding efficiency, effectiveness and equitable delivery of services. For those that had the distinct pleasure of being involved with this journey for the the past eight years, you have seen many changes, successes, struggles and ultimately progress as we move forward in our continued efforts for statewide support. Your historical experience, perspective, and knowledge of where we have been has proven to be most beneficial to our efforts! The following page, although not all-inclusive, provides a general perspective of our collective journey throughout the past 8 years:
