The Board of Directors approved the 2019 Community Needs Assessment for Ulster County Community Action Committee, Inc., (UCCAC) last night at their monthly board meeting. This project has been in the works for over seven months and was compiled by Patrice M. Shumate, MSW of St. Louis MO, a consultant working with UCCAC for several years. Patrice has become very familiar with the mission, vision and values of UCCAC and has added her expertise to this project. Surveys and Focus Groups around the Ulster County community were held during this process. This assessment will assist UCCAC in developing their next strategic plan to be used over the next three years.
