Description

One Voice for Volusia advocates for efficient use of resources and data-driven outcomes and promotes system and community improvements by fostering diverse partnerships that increase the capacity of health and human services providers to improve quality of life and wellbeing. One Voice for Volusia is a neutral convener,
engaging leaders, organizations and individuals to develop and implement strategies to improve the community.

The earliest phase of the Community Agenda began in 2004 during the strategic planning process of One Voice for Volusia, when the Coalition identified the need to connect existing organizations in the area. A meeting was convened with key representatives from 26 area groups to explore collaborative efforts. The concept was presented at a formal meeting in February 2005, attracting 75 community leaders. The outcome reached by consensus: to improve local health and human services through the creation of a Community Agenda.

Data indicators are reviewed annually by staff and volunteers. Each year, the number of indicators or specific type of indicator may change based on the data source. There remain some limitations in selecting the recommended data resulting in “missing” indicators. However, the same criteria apply to all data indicators
included in the Community Agenda Snapshot.
