About Archdiocese of Washington
"We are committed to serving the poor and vulnerable in our community," said Cardinal McCarrick in making the announcement, "and to ensure we are doing that as effectively as possible. The face of the person in need is constantly changing, and the needs are increasingly complex. Through this partnership, our organizations will be able – more... to adapt more quickly to new needs, provide more holistic services and use resources more effectively. I want to thank the organizations' presidents, boards of directors and staff for their commitment and service."
The reorganization is expected to take about two years to complete. The names of the four divisions will remain, as will their unique missions and identities. A single corporate board will serve CCS. Advisory councils will provide input to the Board of Directors. Planning for the reorganization, underway since Fall 2003, has included input from the organizations' leadership and staff.
"I welcome the challenge and opportunity of this new partnership. There are so many needs in our community. At the same time, government funding for human services is increasingly restricted so more people turn to non-profits. Our mission is to serve and it makes sense that we work together as closely as possible to ensure as many resources as possible are going to those in need," Orzechowski said.
