TCRC Plan for Change

The Person-Centered Thinking Task Force develops a work plan each fiscal year to organize, develop, and track Person-Centered Thinking activities in the community. The plan is carried out using sub committees, each with a specific focus area. Active members of the task force include service providers, Area Board IX, as well as TCRC staff. For fiscal year 2006/2007 seven focus areas were identified. See the following sample of the goals for last fiscal year (July 1 06 through June 30 07).
