YWCA LIVING OUR MISSION

147th Annual Report 2014–2015

LIVING OUR MISSION A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT/ CEO AND BOARD CHAIR

With the August 2015 retirement of Charlene Ventura after 42 years with the YWCA of Greater Cincinnati, we pause to reflect on the deep history and major milestones of the past, while looking with great optimism to the future. Charlene’s efforts over the years can be defined by Maya Angelou’s powerful words: President / CEO Barbara C. Perez and Board Chair Nancy A. Lawson

“Sisterhood and brotherhood are conditions people have to work at. You compromise, you give, you take, you stand firm, and you’re relentless.” Throughout her time with the YWCA, Charlene has shown us the value in knowing when to compromise, when to give and when to take, but above all she has been relentless in pursuit of the YWCA mission: to empower women and eliminate racism. We wish Charlene all the best and thank her for the legacy she leaves. It will live on through our excellent programs and all the people we serve.

“We are thrilled to welcome Barbara Perez as our new President / CEO. She is a talented leader with a wide breadth of experience in the non-profit arena, and most importantly, she is passionate about our mission.” — N ANCY A . LAWSON, BOARD CHAIR

We are very confident of a bright future for the YWCA. We want to continue to build on the strong foundation that exists today. We have a tremendous staff, a board of dedicated women and committed volunteers. We are financially secure and ready to make a renewed commitment to all aspects of our critically important mission. We highly value the range of programs the YWCA offers today — the Workforce Development programs, Home Visitation programs, Crisis Intervention and Domestic Violence services, Youth services, Health & Wellness services, Racial Justice programs, and Recognition & Advocacy work. One of the YWCA’s key strengths is its ability to address women’s changing needs. It will be important to continue to be flexible and to respond to the shifting environment and community’s needs. We will work to strike the balance between being nimble and thoughtful regarding programmatic change in the future.

In the year ahead, the YWCA will be taking a fresh look at our work in racial justice. We are joining the YWCA USA in making a renewed organizational commitment to the elimination of racism as it is documented in a new Persimmon Paper entitled “Our Collective Power.” Sadly, it is clear that despite the racial progress in the United States and in Greater Cincinnati, our mission to eliminate racism remains as necessary today as it ever has. We will be working with the staff, board and volunteers over the months and years ahead to determine our expanded role in this area. We know that we can only do that in partnership with other community leaders and institutions. We are proud to join the legions of women who have come before us and will continue to contribute to the rich legacy of those who have walked the floors of the YWCA and labored in our community. We are eagerly embracing our work and the challenges it brings in partnership with all of you in order to make Greater Cincinnati a more welcoming place for all.

A LEGACY OF LIVING OUR MISSION A MESSAGE FROM OUR RETIRING PRESIDENT/CEO, CHARLENE VENTURA

As I reflect over the last 42 years, I want to share some of the reasons that I have remained so passionate about my career at the YWCA. Four words come to mind — history, mission, programs and people.

HISTORY The YWCA’s rich and pioneering history has always touched and astounded me. I marvel at the sheer courage, compassion and sense of justice that the early women leaders had at the YWCA of Cincinnati. I love the words of our first constitution in 1868 ‘that the object of this association shall be the moral, temporal and social welfare of women who are dependent on their own exertions for support’— in other words we were concerned with the welfare of working women even in 1868. This history always gives me a sense of my part in this continuum — we are all part of something bigger that existed before us and will carry on long after we are gone. MISSION We are truly a unique organization not only in this community but in this country. We are the only organization with the mission of eliminating racism and empowering women.

Above President / CEO Barbara C. Perez, retiring President / CEO Charlene Ventura and Board Chair Nancy A. Lawson

I witnessed the rebranding of our organization nationally over 10 years ago. We put eliminating racism first in our logo so that every YWCA throughout the country would treat it as a priority. I am so proud that our brand proclaims our mission so boldly and clearly. PROGRAMS I also feel proud of our role in taking on hard issues, especially domestic violence in the ’70s, by exposing it in a way that the community could own it and by providing awareness, advocacy and services that have literally saved and changed lives. Locally, we have answered over an estimated 500,000 hotline calls and housed over 30,000 women and children since opening our first emergency shelter in 1978. We have counseled over 20,000 men since we started the AMEND program in 1982.

The YWCA’s constant and enduring commitment to the economic empowerment of women is so important. The fact that we have never wavered from this commitment is a testimony to our deep understanding of the need for women to financially take care of themselves and their families. PEOPLE Nothing has brought me more joy than the people that either work or volunteer at the YWCA. Our staff and board members are an incredible cadre of individuals — they are so committed, talented, compassionate, creative, smart and fun. The relationships I have made with all of you and many other wonderful people through the years have greatly enriched my life. You make our organization sing and make it the ‘best in class’ which allows us to truly make our community a better place to live.

She received wrap around services from the YWCA Family Violence Prevention Project CARE partners and enrolled in CARE’s Safety Training & Risk Reduction (STARR) classes. At the end Mary remarked, “I did not know what ‘rape’ meant until I took this training. I just knew at the time that things did not feel right when I was being attacked. I now know I have the right to have and enjoy healthy, safe relationships.”
