INTRODUCTION FOR OVER 70 YEARS, UWMB HAS BROUGHT THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER TO HELP IMPROVE PEOPLE'S LIVES AND STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. WE BELIEVE THAT FAMILIES ARE SOCIETY'S GREATEST ASSET AND THAT BY BRINGING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER TO HELP EACH FAMILY REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL WE LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR A STRONG, STABLE REGION AND ROBUST ECONOMY THAT BENEFITS EVERYONE. OUR FOUNDING BELIEF-THAT TOGETHER WE CAN DO MORE THAN WE EVER COULD ALONE-STILL DEFINES OUR MISSION, BUT TODAY THAT BELIEF HAS STRETCHED BEYOND FUNDRAISING AND CREATED A POWERFUL AND GROWING MOVEMENT TO GIVE, ADVOCATE OR VOLUNTEER. OUR RALLYING CRY, TO "LIVE UNITED" HAS MOBILIZED THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE TO ADVANCE THE COMMON GOOD SO WE CAN PROVIDE NEEDED HELP TODAY AND CREATE A STRONGER TOMORROW. WE ALL WANT TO HAVE THE GREATEST POSSIBLE IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITY AND THE ISSUES THAT WE CARE ABOUT. UWMB LEVERAGES THE RESOURCES AND TALENTS OF A REGIONAL NETWORK OF MORE THAN 160 PARTNER AGENCIES TO FOCUS ON SHARED GOALS, USING PROVEN STRATEGIES. ACROSS OUR THREE IMPACT AREAS, THESE AGENCIES CREATE A CONTINUUM OF SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN, YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES THAT EXTENDS WELL BEYOND THE REACH OF ANY SINGLE ORGANIZATION. NO OTHER ORGANIZATION HAS THE SCOPE, EXPERTISE, OR INFLUENCE TO BRING TOGETHER HUNDREDS OF HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES, GOVERNMENT, BUSINESSES, PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS AND DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS AROUND A COMMON VISION OF CREATING MAXIMUM IMPACT AND ACHIEVING LONG-LASTING RESULTS. ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW UWMB ENCOMPASSES OVER 130 CITIES AND TOWNS WITH NET ASSETS OF MORE THAN $60 MILLION. AS A MORE NIMBLE ORGANIZATION WITH STREAMLINED, CENTRALIZED BACKROOM SERVICES, WE CAN FOCUS OUR RESOURCES ON ACHIEVING GREATER IMPACT ON THE ISSUES AFFECTING FAMILIES ON A MUCH BROADER SCALE. UWMB IS A COMMUNITY IMPACT ORGANIZATION WITH FOUR DISTINCT FUNCTIONAL DIVISIONS: COMMUNITY IMPACT, DEVELOPMENT, MARKETING/COMMUNICATIONS AND FINANCE/ADMINISTRATION. UWMB STAFF EXPERTS HAVE PARTICIPATED ON NUMEROUS SIGNIFICANT CITY AND STATEWIDE TASK FORCES AND COMMUNITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS THAT HAVE DIRECT INFLUENCE ON KEY ISSUES FACING OUR REGION. OUR PARTICIPATION IN THESE EFFORTS HELPS TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE TRULY SOLVING PROBLEMS RATHER THAN ADDRESSING SYMPTOMS. UWMB HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT EVERY DOLLAR ENTRUSTED TO US IS INVESTED TO PRODUCE THE GREATEST MEASURABLE IMPACT. IN 2007, THIS STRATEGY WAS FORMALIZED INTO A NEW MODEL OF INVESTMENT. ALL FUNDING OF PARTNER AGENCIES IS SUBJECT TO STRINGENT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF SPECIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS. BY MEASURING RESULTS AND MAKING ACCOUNTABILITY A PRIORITY, UWMB IS ABLE TO HAVE A MORE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE ISSUES FACING OUR COMMUNITY. WE ALSO FOSTER GREATER COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION WHILE STREAMLINING EFFORTS AND CREATING MORE EFFECTIVE SERVICE MODELS. UWMB BRINGS TOGETHER SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS LEADERS TO ENABLE CHANGE THAT WOULD NOT OTHERWISE BE POSSIBLE. FROM JOINING WITH THE CITY OF BOSTON TO PROMOTE HEALTHY EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT TO PARTNERING WITH THE FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY TO HELP LOW-INCOME FAMILIES IN LAWRENCE RECEIVE THEIR EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT, TO PARTNERING WITH GREATER SEACOAST COMPANIES AROUND OUR K-READY KIDS EARLY LEARNING INITIATIVE, WE'RE UNITING PEOPLE AND INVESTING IN PROVEN APPROACHES THAT CREATE LASTING CHANGE. STRATEGIC FOCUS TOGETHER, WE'RE HELPING TODAY AND STRENGTHENING TOMORROW BY FOCUSING ON THREE KEY COMMUNITY IMPACT AREAS THAT BUILD A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR ALL: 1. HEALTHY CHILD DEVELOPMENT: ENSURING CHILDREN ARE READY TO LEARN WHEN THEY ENTER SCHOOL. 2. INCREASING YOUTH OPPORTUNITIES: KEEPING KIDS ENGAGED IN LEARNING SO THEY GRADUATE ABLE TO COMPETE. 3. FAMILY FINANCIAL STABILITY: HELPING FAMILIES ACHIEVE FINANCIAL STABILITY. CONCLUSION TODAY MORE THAN EVER, CHILDREN AND FAMILIES NEED OUR HELP. WE SEE THIS NEED EVERY DAY. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES ARE REQUESTING ASSISTANCE WHO HAVE NEVER HAD TO ASK FOR HELP BEFORE. WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THE THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS, COMPANIES AND FOUNDATIONS WHOSE COLLECTIVE TALENTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE CREATED MEANINGFUL CHANGE THAT WILL IMPACT OUR COMMUNITIES FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. |

Each year, the Compensation Committee, which is comprised of Board and non-Board members, reviews compensation, benchmarks and performance metrics for the top five positions in the leadership of the organization including the President and Chief Executive Officer. Every three years, the Compensation Committee also completes a review of the external compensation market by engaging an executive compensation consultant to review the compensation and benefits package and set benchmarks for each position. All compensation changes are reviewed and approved each year by the Board of Directors following review and approvals by the Compensation Committee and the Executive Committee of the Board and documented in the meeting minutes. The Chairperson of the Compensation Committee who is also a member of the Board of Directors creates and maintains the documentation of the deliberations of the Committee meetings and decisions regarding the compensation decisions. |
