Leaders Rise to the Challenge

Author: Christy Stearns

Planning Unit: Clinton County CES

Major Program: Building Healthy Coalitions

Plan of Work: Leadership Development, Community Planning, Development & Marketing

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Over the past year, Covid-19 restrictions have changed the way councils and advisory groups conducted business and subsequent programming. Yet, true leaders rise to the challenge of different and difficult circumstances. The Clinton County Health Coalition maintained monthly meetings held via Zoom and realized an increase in membership and participation as a result. Coalition members remained vested in offering alternative grab and go and virtual solutions to annual programs throughout the past 18 months. As restrictions have changed, members have been eager to engage in planning a fall in-person community health and wellness event. Members have committed extra hours into researching safe ways to host the event, engaged new partners to offer additional health screenings, Covid and flu vaccinations, and other wellness services, and have broadened the scope of the event to include an early childhood literacy component. Time committed to planning the October event thus far has already resulted in $1,369 of volunteer time (Independent Sector, April 2021). Members are actively involved in the improvement of the quality of life for individuals and families through leadership development, volunteer service, and education.
