Leadership

Strategic planning is considered an essential management tool that drives Lawrence Hall to maintain, grow, and explore areas of service provision as well our operations. Our strategic plan guides our management team and board of directors with measurable metrics and tactics intended to result in ongoing growth and improvement.

Additionally, this document and process is essential for Council on Accreditation (COA) compliance. Quarterly, the strategic planning committee of the Board reviews progress and assesses obstacles. Our current strategic plan addresses three areas where we plan to develop and advance:

• Revolutionizing social services through our groundbreaking Innovator Programming
• Empowerment through culture that champions collaboration, creativity, and excellence
• Conceiving a South Shore Community Wellness Center which celebrates equity, empowers residents, and inspire employees

Lawrence Hall is committed to principles of respect, equity, accessibility, diversity, and inclusion (you) for all leadership, staff, youth, and families. Originally created in 2021 as our DEI Committee, our rebranded READY Committee promotes and supports five key areas:

• Policy change
• Open, non-judgmental communication across the agency
• Personal responsibility in helping tear down exclusionary attitudes
• Cross-departmental community building
• Staff training and enrichment

Our READY Committee previously published Brave Conversations, a series of thought-provoking and educational blogs to inspire others to work these principles into their everyday lives.

Lawrence Hall does not permit or tolerate discrimination against those we serve, job applicants, or our staff on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, age, marital status, family responsibility, military status, or disability (except where the disability would prevent the performance of the essential requirements of the job with or without a reasonable accommodation).
