Create a short paper in which you develop a mission statement for a fictitious nonprofit agency that you could see yourself working at in the future. Describe the agency and its potential goals. Then, create a paragraph explaining how your mission statement will be effective in driving the agency to successful service delivery. How can you ensure that the agency maintains a strategic focus on this vision and its target population?
You have just been promoted to a program manager in a small nonprofit human service agency.

During the past year, 10 employees have left due to problems in getting along with coworkers, poor job satisfaction, and the conclusion of grant funding.
Your previous position within the organization has provided you with the opportunity to experience the gaps and inadequacies of the current workforce structure, as a result, you are prepared to present a proposal to guide the agency's efforts to recruit and retain an outstanding workforce and acquire adequate funding to sustain the necessary programmatic growth needed to improve service delivery. You are expected to present your ideas to the director in preparation for the boards of directors meeting.

c) Describe how the agency's mission was considered when creating the proposal. What is the relationship between the agency's mission and the community? Consider how the current state of the agency might impact its mission if concerns are not addressed.
d) Describe how current trends in human service delivery influenced the creation of proposal. How might this influence impact costs and the quality of services? Consider how impacting costs and quality of service could affect the community.
e) Identify how the proposal will alter the state of the agency. What are the key ideas in the proposal that will positively impact programmatic service delivery now and in the future? You might also consider the historical and current trends in human services delivery.
