CHARTING THE COURSE

THE MISSION of the Region VII Head Start Association is to ensure quality

services for children and families by promoting and supporting the effectiveness of State Head Start Associations, Local Head Start Programs, and members.

Historical Perspective

Since 1995 when the Region VII Steering Committee came together to begin looking at the possibility of establishing a Regional Head Start Association, dedicated committees, board members, the Regional Office, Training and Technical Assistance Offices, and Head Start stakeholders strive to ensure that the Region VII Head Start Association is strong and viable. The Association was launched in 1997 at the Annual Leadership Conference and has since become a 501 (c) 3 organization that is financially solvent and provides a link to the four state associations and the National Head Start Association.

The 2005 RVII Board of Directors continued the tradition of thoughtful and strategic planning to move the association forward in an effort to continue the hard work of so many that came before. The then current Board of Directors which included Ex-officio members met on May 9, 2005 to review past work in the organizational

planning process, and identified new strategies, goals and steps needed to continue the work of the Association in meeting and delivering on established Board Outcomes.

The core of the strategic plan is based on the mission of the Head Start Association. The Region VII Board of Directors is committed to meeting the needs and challenges of the membership and stakeholders of the organization. Established committees as well as an executive office oversee the continued work of the association and look to the strategic plan as a guide in moving the association forward.

The collective commitment of the Region VII Head Start Association is to continue to look to the future, meet the challenges ahead, focus on excellence, and make a positive difference in the lives of children and families.
