Safe Kids WorldwideWhat a great plenary session today!!

It was a terrific opportunity for each of you to feel the importance of the "Safe Kids Worldwide: Clarity, Capacity, Credibility" momentum toward a shared direction for children. The many questions you posed are an indication of your interest in the life and evolution of our wonderful organization. Hopefully, each of you will take ownership for crafting a useful strategic plan. Creation of Safe Kids USA as a distinct entiry is an imperative component that we must accomplish to improve our effectiveness to reach children. Please remember the three key commitments each of us must remember:

  1. Recommit to publich health
  2. Build our Network capacity
  3. Globalize our leadership

Finally, Clarifying the SKW leadership role in the global health and safety field will save the lives of children.
Building SKW organizational and network capacity will save the lives of children.
Broadening SKW governance and leadership to include the voices of our global network and others in the field will help us be more credible and save more lives of chlldren.

When you return home, and you have a chance to do something to align with the new directions-try it- let us know how it works.

We are counting on you to help adjust Safe Kids Worldwide direction to reach more children and save lives. It is our responsibility to aid those children and communities in need.

Ours is a noble cause!

Warmest personal regards,
Dr. Ike

pnichols Partnering for greater Clarity, Capacity and Credibility 0 Oct 14 2007, 8:57 PM EDT by pnichols

Friends: My colleagues on the SKW board and staff are very eager to engage you, and to learn from you, about how to save more lives and what we can do, as your partners, to support you in that work.

We are especially looking forward to our discussions on Friday about the new Clarity, Capacity, Credibility strategic plan. In my many discussions with member countries, coalitions, chapters, sponsors and others I heard repeatedly that SKW needs to clarify key elements of our strategy and our service model, that we need to build more capacity and do more to help you build capacity and, finally, that we need to strengthen our credibility as a partner in the public health community. That is what our new plan is about. Your reactions, counsel, refinement and, finally, partnership are crucial to our success.

And, in the case of SKW success is literally vital--it means kids' lives saved.

Please make a point of introducing yourselves to me and to my staff colleagues and telling us how we can be better partners, through the Clarity, Capacity and Credibility plan and beyond.
