EMAIL DETAILS

Hi folks,
I wanted to share the draft of 2017 mission/strategic objectives Patty and I worked up with Wil Sherk, who has helped us throughout the year stay focused on our core mission. None of these are set in stone, and we’d like your thoughts and comments in the new year.
Also, Fred Sears sent to you last week draft employee evaluations for me and for Patty. I had asked about these a few months ago, and Fred pulled what he used for the DCF. Please take a look at them and work with Fred to get them to your liking. Patty and I did some self evaluations - it was a great exercise - but really want to hear what you guys think of our performance and help us be better stewards of the mission in 2017.
Merry Christmas! Call if you have any questions.

Beau Biden Foundation 2017 Objectives:

Increase the foundation's capacity to educate, train, and advocate
Add volunteer management and administrative support capability to staff - have on board by February 1st.
Develop a dependable network of volunteers who can deliver training and programs
Netsmartz - 25 trainers, all three counties
Stewards of Children - 14 trainers (4 so far)
Visibility - 50
Create and sustain a committee of community advisors in Delaware, focusing first on Sussex County. More than just supporters - these folks are the eyes and ears on the ground. In particular, focus on community leaders and the grass top-type folks.
Cultivate and secure donors who are committed to the foundation's mission - 1. Online grassroots donors through aggressive email campaigns, digital advertising and list acquisition. 2. Foundations and corporate donors (no longer focus on program underwriting at the corporate level. 3. Individuals - especially those who have never written an check to a Biden, but care about the cause.
Prepare and explore the possible acquisition of Darkness to Light (three year plan).
Train 5,000 adults in Delaware in Stewards of Children, with a focus on law enforcement and educators. We will train other groups as needed, but the focus on cultivation and development of trainings should remain on these two groups.
Measure the effectiveness of NetSmartz training - work with DelTech to develop a questionnaire (Spring Semester) and then analyze the data (Fall Semester)
Begin deep discussions about creating online content about inappropriate contact for children age 4 to 11.
