Guests will gain an understanding of local challenges that affect the community through a presentation on CFAAC's latest edition of "Poverty Amidst Plenty VI" and discuss the importance of the community's response to these challenges.

The report intends to increase knowledge and awareness as well as to frame informed discussions about persistent local trends and needs. It is our goal to assist those interested in continuous improvement with their efforts aimed at strengthening the County. It is also a call to action. This report can be used by nonprofits, community advocates, volunteers, business leaders, elected officials, policymakers, government agencies, foundations, individual philanthropists, professional advisors, and others to prioritize and develop strategies and implementation plans with measurable goals that benefit everyone in the County.

The report will be presented by Dr. Pamela Brown, Executive Director, Anne Arundel County Partnership for Children, Youth, and Families. 

The Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County's Community Needs Assessment is a collaboration with Anne Arundel Medical Center, University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center, Anne Arundel County Department of Health, Anne Arundel Mental Health Agency, Annapolis and Anne Arundel County YWCA, and the Anne Arundel County Partnership for Children, Youth, and Families.
