4C reports
176,317 children positively impacted in 2010
And
save this date: Jan. 28,
2012!
The
question "Why 4C?" was repeatedly asked-and
answered-at 4C for Children's May 2 annual
meeting. Board chair Pamela Page called attention to the
cover of the 2010 Annual Report which headlines
this question and promises "176,317 answers inside!"
This is the number of children positively impacted by 4C
through its services to families and child care
providers in 2010-and it
continues to grow every year.
"This
number, along with the many other numbers highlighted in
the 2010 Annual Report adds up to a very
compelling answer to the question 'Why 4C?'," Pam
emphasized to the audience of board members, past
presidents and staff gathered at the new United Way of
Greater Cincinnati Fifth Third Bank Convening
Center.

New Board, New
Officers

term: William Creecy III and
Marla Hurston Fuller.

New
awards
The
2010 Ohio Nonprofit Excellence Award
was presented to 4C at a May 5 luncheon in Columbus for
the development and implementation of the Developing
Early Childhood Leaders Seminar. This award from the
Ohio Association of Nonprofits Organizations recognizes
the creativity, execution, achievement and overall
excellence of a specific program completed in 2010.
This
leadership seminar meets an unmet need in this region
and provides in-depth professional development to
directors, board members and owners of early childhood
programs and centers, says Janet Keller, 4C's vice
president for professional development. The goal of this
seminar is to develop successful leaders who can not
only run a quality early childhood program but who also
become advocates for quality early education and care in
the larger community.
The
2010 Vision Award was presented to 4C
April 14 by the United Way of Greater Cincinnati-Eastern
Region for its commitment and dedication to improving
the quality of early childhood education in Clermont
County. 4C has helped 28 of 61 child care programs in
Clermont County achieve quality ratings, giving Clermont
one of the highest concentrations of quality child care
in the state.
Staff
members Kim Ginn and Patty Stefanik received the award
on behalf of 4C. Kim is 4C's director of quality
initiatives and Patty is 4C's Clermont County
specialist.
