WJCS Board of Directors 2010-2011 

Another complicated year, 2010 presented WJCS with challenges on 

one hand and opportunities on the other. The economic and corporate 

communities reflected greater optimism as the year progressed, but we 

remained cautious since the not-for-profit sector historically lags behind the 

private sector in a recovery. Of primary concern has been the long-term effect 

of NY State’s restructuring of clinic services and the likely decrease in Medicaid 

reimbursement that supports many of our programs. 

Notwithstanding our apprehensions, we again counted many positive 

accomplishments. A successful Gala event raised vital funds to support 

various programs and afforded the opportunity to honor outgoing President 

Mich Araten. Intensified efforts to reach out to foundations and corporations 

generated an array of grants to fund new and existing projects. Productive 

relationships were cultivated with newly elected county officials and many 

legislators visited our sites and services, seeing firsthand the value we bring 

to Westchester residents. 

New developments addressed people with special needs and those affected by 

the economic situation. Our Claremont House group residence for 6 men 

with developmental disabilities opened in Mt. Vernon. The exciting POINT 

program for young adults with special needs continued to expand in White 

Plains and is becoming a model for projects statewide, if not nationwide. 

Many families took advantage of the broad assistance offered by the Autism 

Family Center. Connect to Care and Women-Helping-Women 

made strides in helping unemployed and transitioning adults explore options 

and gain support. 

We augmented services for people at both ends of the life spectrum with new 

offerings in early childhood to address the mental health and development of 

young children and enhanced home care services that improve prospects for 

seniors desiring to age safely in their communities. 

And we received recognition: Acknowledging its benefits to the health of teen 

moms and their young children, our Young Parents Achieve! program 

received the 2010 Westchester County Board of Health Distinguished Public 

Health Service Award. The Partner Abuse Intervention Program was 

included among 25 exemplary programs highlighted in the 2010 NYS OMH 

Statewide Comprehensive Plan for Mental Health Services. 

Dipping our toe into the world of social networking, we launched a WJCS 

Facebook page and are exploring new ways to reach potential donors and people 

in need of services. More information is being disseminated electronically, 

saving dollars and trees while effectively getting our message out. As the year 

ended, we prepared for our periodic UJA-Federation Organizational Review 

and began assessment of goals and accomplishments relative to the Strategic 

Plan designed in 2006. 

When December 2010 pummeled us with a debilitating snowstorm, we 

were impressed once again by the intrepid dedication of the WJCS staff at our 

community residences and those helping the homebound and overseeing 

operations. Their care and commitment are exceptional and we never take 

that for granted. Looking forward, we must continue to manage efficiently 

and creatively, never losing sight of our mission, our core values and the 

primacy of our incredible staff. 

It is clear that when Westchester individuals and families are in need, they 

ARE aware that we are here for them, Strengthening lives... Shaping 

futures in significant and meaningful ways. Our incomparable staff and 

leadership make that possible and we are grateful for all that they accomplish 

every day.
