Letter To The Community

From Our Leaders

In 2011, we celebrated our 16th year of improving our community by helping to strengthen many of the nonpro�t organizations in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area.

Nonpro�ts continue to face tremendous challenges by being asked to do more with less. They face the dual hardship of decreased funding and increased requests for more services by the people they assist. We are pleased that our work reduces this hardship for nonpro�ts and contributes to the overall well being of people in our community through the high quality, a�ordable consulting and coaching services, and leadership development we provide.

From our humble beginning with 30 volunteer consultants serving less than 20 nonpro�ts, we have grown to more than 120 volunteer consultants who donated 10,300 hours of service in 2011, valued at more than $1 million at full market rates.

The foundation of our agency is built on the strength of our workforce of talented and experienced volunteers and sta� who enjoy being able to give back to the community. We are very proud to say that 16 of ESCC’s original members continue to be involved with ESCC today. And some of our clients have been with us from our inception. This speaks to the value and experience ESCC brings to nonpro�ts speci�cally, and the community in general. We are very grateful for our bright, dedicated, hardworking volunteers, without whom we would not exist.

What remains a challenge to us now is creating the proper type of service delivery to handle the changing needs of nonpro�t businesses and volunteers. To that end, we will implement in mid-2012 a new business plan (Project Performance Excellence) to ensure that ESCC is strategically positioned to continue to grow and serve our clients. And we welcome our 2012 Board Chair, Aubrey Herman, to help shepherd the implementation of this plan.

As you will see in our community report, ESCC had a productive year in 2011. We are steadily improving our �nancial sustainability as we hold ourselves to the same best practices that we urge our clients to follow.

In closing, we truly appreciate the overall investment of time, talent and support we receive from our stakeholders, volunteers and the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky community.Sincerely,

Andrew McCreanorExecutive Director/CEO

Sincerely,

Frederick H. Heyse2011 Board Chair

ESCC Programs

Nonpro�t Leadership Institute

Now in its fourth year, ESCC’s Nonpro�t Leadership Institute is a dynamic, interactive eight-month program speci�cally designed for executive directors and senior managers interested in strengthening their management skills for better e�ectiveness. Each monthly day-long module, while distinct, cumulatively provides expanded knowledge for managing a nonpro�t organization. 2011 workshops included Leadership for Nonpro�ts, Personnel Management, Strategic Thinking, Board Development, Organizational Development/Fundraising, Outcomes Measurement, Fiscal Management, Community Asset Mapping/Collaborations/Social Enterprise. Classes run from September through May. Participants also receive individual coaching from ESCC-trained volunteers and assistance with both organizational and personal improvement plans.

Freestore Foodbank and ESCC partnered for the third year in a program designed to increase the distribution capacity of FSFB agencies from 14 million pounds of food a year to 16 million pounds. Under this eight-month program that runs from September till June, ESCC coached 36 FSFB agencies one-on-one, as well as provided monthly leadership training sessions to assist them to reach this goal.

Each workshop provides the opportunity to learn skills and knowledge to provide strategic thinking and time to create capacity assessments, develop plans, and report increased capabilities.

ESCC is privileged to count a wide variety of retired and working professionals as volunteer members of ESCC. These dedicated women and men come from many sectors of the business and nonpro�t communities to lend their considerable talents in many valuable ways – from coaching to consulting to training to serving on our board and serving as a valuable part of our small sta�. They join ESCC for many reasons – from a desire to give back to the community, to wanting to learn new skills, to keeping current skills fresh, to making new friends. We are very grateful for our wonderful volunteers. Without them our organization could not exist. This year we are proud to report that 60 new members joined during the year for a total of 120+ volunteers by the end of the year.

“ESCC provides the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky community with valuable services to increase the strength and sustainability of our nonpro�ts.“

- Karen Monday VP Foundation and Business Management Duke Energy Ohio and Kentucky

“ESCC provides meaningful, relevant services to other nonpro�ts in our community. Assisting these agencies with leadership and human resource development is both ful�lling and rewarding.”

- Julia Johnson

“By sharing my work experiences with nonpro�ts I am able to help others by giving back to the community.”

- Rod Trombley

“I’m so impressed with the dedicated nonpro�t professionals and volunteers with whom I have worked and look forward to each new project to continue helping more people in our community.”

ESCC

Community Impact

Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) and Procter & Gamble Foundation have been strong supporters of ESCC for many years. For the past four years P&G Foundation has contributed more than $100,000 to ESCC to provide IT and operational capacity-building projects within CPS. To date, ESCC has partnered with CPS on 24 projects with more than a dozen more in the pipeline. ESCC has been responsible for implementing a wide range of cost-cutting and e�ciency-producing processes that have totaled $6 million savings for the central o�ce.

A few of the major projects over the years include negotiation of new school bus contracts, design and implementation of an IT disaster recovery project, improved Performance Evaluation system and establishing a supplier diversity program. Safe Routes to School, a recent project, is part of a national program geared toward improving the safety of students walking or biking to school while also improving the health of the children.

As ESCC continues to work with operational issues at CPS, it is broadening its reach into the schools. In a recent project with the School for Creative and Performing Arts, ESCC is successfully helping the school resolve governance issues and develop a strategic plan; this work may be reapplied to other schools as well.

“We are proud that we’re changing the culture within Cincinnati Public Schools by challenging our traditional ways of working and bringing in best practices from the business world. ESCC volunteers play a vital role in this shift. We look forward to expanding this work into additional areas of CPS.”

- Mary A. Ronan, Superintendent Cincinnati Public Schools

“As we continue to trim the (operational) fat and get more into the muscle, our projects are becoming more complex. Not only do the volunteer consultants provide outstanding strategic direction, but they are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and work side-by-side with us. We do not have the sta� or the expertise to make these internal e�ciency changes on our own and could not have done this without ESCC’s help.”

- Terry Elfers, Chief Operating O�cer Cincinnati Public Schools

“As good stewards of our Foundation’s dollars we have to be certain the investments we make in the community are worthwhile. Time after time, Executive Service Corps of Cincinnati has proven that they bring intrinsic value to the entire community by improving operations within Cincinnati Public Schools which helps the educational process for all our children.”

- Sean Parker, Community Relations Manager P&G

Since 2004 Executive Service Corps of Cincinnati has partnered with Cincinnati’s iconic nonpro�t — Freestore Foodbank — on a variety of strategic initiatives. Freestore’s CEO John Young refers to ESCC as their “go to” agency when they need assistance.

This year ESCC has helped Freestore Foodbank achieve three strategic goals: Improve capacity at its food pantries, better leverage its existing food and assist more women in entering the workforce.

In particular this year, ESCC helped broker Dress for Success’ merger with the Freestore Foodbank family. Together they will help more women gain the con�dence necessary to move into the workforce and out of the “at risk” population.

“We major in food,” Young said, but minor in partnerships.”

Since 1995 — the inception of both American Heritage Girls (AHG) and Executive Service Corps of Cincinnati — each agency has grown along parallel paths.

Today, AHG is a national scouting organization with 19,000 members in 45 states and six countries worldwide. And the original founder, Patti Garibay, still leads the helm as National Executive Director.

For the past 16 years, ESCC has helped AHG with increasingly more complex work. In 2011, ESCC completed a Process Mapping project for AHG, headed by Mark Grote. “That was such a great exercise for creating buy in for our change initiative,” Garibay said. “Our sta� had to visually see that we were ine�cient and duplicating e�orts in some areas. We knew we needed to operate smarter for the future.” Garibay said their organization grew more than 35 per cent last year. If they remain on their current trajectory, she predicts that AHG will reach over 80,000 members by 2015.

February 2, 2012Subject: Review of 2011 Financial Results

This will con�rm that I completed a review of all accounting records and supporting documentation for all cash receipts and disbursements for the year 2011 today.

In my opinion, the Statements of Pro�t & Loss and Balance Sheet of The Executive Service Corps of Cincinnati, Inc. to be included in the annual report, fairly state in all material aspects the cash �ows for the year 20011 and the net assets as of December 31, 2011.

During my review, I noted that adequate internal control procedures, including separationof duties among the Treasurer, Executive Director and the Director of Support Services, remain in place and are consistently followed. I noted that Andy McCreanor, Bob Conklin and Darlyne Koretos continue their attention to detail in how you track, report and document all �nancial transactions.

Sincerely,Gerard J. Roerty, Audit Chair
