b. Organizational Structure – Please describe:
Your organizational structure;
How the board functions, communicates, plans and interacts internally; and
How the board functions, communicates, plans within the community, externally.
The Cedar County Empowerment Board consists of volunteers from the community who meet on the fourth Thursday of
each month. In addition to the standard agenda items, the board addresses other issues as they arise. The Board
consists of a hierarchical organization including three officers: President, Vice President and Treasurer . When applicable,
the Board President appoints members to committees. These committees develop recommendations which are brought to
the board for a vote at the next scheduled meeting.
The board also has a part time Secretary and a part time Coordinator. The Coordinator is responsible for establishing and
maintaining ongoing communication with all board members, accomplished primarily through electronic means.
The Cedar County Auditor’s Office performs Fiscal Agent services for the Board. These financial operatives are audited
regularly along with the rest of the County’s financial dealings. The County Board of Supervisors is kept informed of all
pertinent decisions.
Public communication is established via email, public notice boards, newspaper articles and announcements. Our CEA
website is a vital tool for communication with the public as it includes contact information, minutes, agendas, program
information and other valuable information. Every meeting provides the public opportunity to speak. The Coordinator and
board members strive to network with community groups such as the library boards, economic development groups,
school boards, chambers of commerce, interagency groups, human resource councils, etc.

SECTION II – Community Plan and Collaborative efforts to Achieve Results
Community Plan Updates
Provide a brief list or narrative of changes, deletions, or revisions if any, to the community plan.
(If you are seeking to be re designated as a Community Empowerment Area at this time, please submit a copy of your up to
date plan with your annual report.)
Community Collaborative Efforts
Definition adopted by Iowa Empowerment Board: Collaboration involves parties who see different aspects of a problem. They
engage in a process through which they constructively explore their differences and search for (and implement) solutions that go
beyond their own limited vision of what is possible. (Gray, 1989). Relationships evolve toward commitment to the com on mission,
comprehensive communication and planning, polled resources and shared risks and products. Authority is vested in the
collaborative, rather than in individuals or an individual agency.
Describe at least two (2) successful collaborative efforts within the Community Empowerment Area during the last year that promote
healthy and successful children 0-5 and their families. The two examples chosen should reflect creative solutions, and a positive
engagement and commitment of the community. For each collaborative effort describe the results and explain how each example
strives to avoid duplication, enhance efforts, combine planning, and/or other progress.
1. Every year, Cedar Co. Empowerment has conducted a Preschool and Kindergarten Teacher Forum. At this Forum Preschool and
Kindergarten teachers collaborate to develop strategic plans for their unique community and work together to increase school
readiness skills. This is done through the forum where community plans have been developed and each school district in Cedar
County has developed a plan of action in which their area preschool providers and kindergarten teachers get together to work on
exchanging ideas. At the forum all teachers are given professional development in the areas of school readiness. The first yea,
each participant received a researched based Early Literacy Curriculum, called, “Opening the World of Learning” and was trained
on early literacy strategies. This last year, based on surveys filled out from the previous forum, teachers wanted more training on
science curriculum, large and small motor skill development, and learning about the Early Learning Standards. We were able to
provide to them speakers from the local AEA and area experts in these content areas. Each participant was then allowed to
order $200.00 of curriculum or equipment for their classrooms based on the Early Learning Standards. Every year through
Quality Improvement dollars this forum exists, and we have plans to expand it to Early Childhood Daycare providers, as well.
2. Another collaborative effort is during one of our Board Meeting discussions, we discovered that many of our services that are
funded through Empowerment dollars were not communicating with each other the delivery of their services. Issues were
identified and through Board discussion, plans have been made to have a community collaboration meeting where all service
providers will attend and communication can be increased for better service delivery and collaboration of delivery systems.

Kit, http://www.empowerment.state.ia.us/common/pdf/kit_tools/tool_ff.pdf.
