Nan Griggs "No agency can stand alone; only by working with others can we achieve success. Our accomplishments this year can be attributed to one word - partnership. " Executive Director's Message It is with great pleasure that I review the accomplishments of this year. An "Outstanding Organization of the Year" award presented to us by the St. Lucie Council of Social Agencies to acknowledge the success of the partnerships we formed with other agencies to serve the economically disadvantaged started our year. We then received national and state recognition for our Workshop -to Work Transition Program for handicapped individuals. Our pilot vocational exploration summer project for 14 and 15 -year olds has been chosen by the State Job Training Coordinating Council to receive their "Distinguished Performance Award for Youth Programs." This program presented in partnership with Indian River Community College was so successful locally that for Summer, 1987, it was given the name, "Expanding Horizons." Other partnerships also won recognition. Our Treasure Coast Video produced in partnership with local economic development agencies received acclaim locally and throughout the state but, even more important, has received continued use from out local Chambers of Commerce. Job Training Center billboards attracted many people to our program and the design won a MIDAS Award for Display Advertising from the State Job Training Coordinating Council. Werner Bols, our PIC Chairman, has been named "Business Volunteer of the Year" and will receive statewide recognition at the next Governor's Coordinating Council meeting. Also at that meeting, the Treasure Coast Job Training Center will be presented with a check for $68,003, as an Incentive Award for Outstanding Achievement in 1986- 1987. No agency can stand alone; only by working with others can we achieve success. Our zccomplishments this year can be attributed to one word - partnership. My hat is off to our partners - the Private Industry Council, schools, agencies and businesses on the Treasure Coast. Chairman Scurlock thanked Mrs. Griggs for giving the Board the update on the PIC.
