Events

On Saturday, January 22nd and Saturday, January 29th the CHCSO conducted a Strategic Planning workshop for twenty-one community members at Jackson Elementary School. The school principal, Ms. Judy Carpenter, attended and played a major role in helping the event to unfold. Workshop participants included a variety of persons from the community, including educators, students, ministers, etc.

A major outcome of the workshop was that leaders of the organization were able to craft a meaningful vision statement, mission statement, goals, objectives, and trajectory. Attendees stated in their written evaluations of the event that they were inspired, dedicated, and determined to see the Chapel Hill Community Service Organization, Inc. catapulted to a highly effective organization that makes an unparalleled difference in the lives of our rural residents.

At the end of the workshop, President Gwyen Dean presented all participants with a “Certificate of Completion” for sacrificing two days of their time to help build the CHCSO into an effective, life-changing organization.
