J. Glenn Hopkins, President

Since your annual meeting last year, Hopkins House has made considerable progress in meeting the goals we set out to accomplish this year:

Hopkins House has established itself firmly among the most effective and highest quality early care and education programs in the region. As such, the demand for our services continues to grow, particularly on our Fairfax County and City of Alexandria campuses. Enrollment is at capacity at your Helen Day Preschool Academy in Alexandria, and we added a new classroom for an additional 20 Young Scholars at your James L. & Juliette McNeil Preschool Academy in Fairfax County.

Tomorrow, your three preschool academies will collectively graduate 47 Young Scholars — 13

more than last year — our largest graduating class in more than a decade. These graduates are proudly and confidently moving on to public and private elementary schools throughout the region this fall.

Committed to nurturing and supporting the professional development of our educators and

those who seek to make a career in the Early Care and Education field, this year we enrolled 84 teens and adults in your Early Childhood Learning Institute (ECLI). We are pleased to report that 37 of these students earned professional certifications in childcare and 33 are currently enrolled at Northern Virginia Community College in pursuit of additional professional certificates and a college degree.

To provide the resources needed to support the quality and effectiveness of our early care and

education and workforce development programs, and to ensure access to all in need, this year your board created The Hopkins House Fund. This new, semi-independent entity is the outgrowth of a study commissioned in 2014 by the trustees to exam fundraising at Hopkins House. Led by an independent board of directors specialized in fundraising, and supported by its own Executive Director, The Fund will manage the resource development affairs of your organization. The Fund has set a goal to raise $1 million in charitable support to Hopkins House over the next 18 months — the bulk to be used to fund preschool scholarships for children of low-resourced working and military families.

To-date, Hopkins House has received over $408,000 in gifts and pledges from caring and

generous donors, including $85,000 in bequests — approximately $54,000 (15%) more than last year .

In the coming year, we will focus on (1) identifying resources to expand our assistance to low-resourced working and military families struggling to afford the ever rising cost of quality early care and education for their children, and (2) enhancing the classroom instructional skills of the early care and education professionals at Hopkins House as well as those of partnering centers in the region.

Accomplishments: The committee successfully developed policy tools to gather insight on a broad range of issues from parents of our preschool Young Scholars, staff, and the larger community; and, conducted the annual survey of preschool academy parents — 85% of whom expressed satisfaction with the services their children receive from Hopkins House; and, raised public awareness around the Alexandria City Public Schools’ plan to create a “Pre-K Center” to house 400 plus 4– and 5-year olds. Moving Forward: Over the coming year, the committee will work to address the growing waiting list of students seeking to enroll at our Helen Day Preschool Academy and, seek ways to encourage and support increased engagement of males as early care and education professionals.

Moving Forward: Over the coming year, the committee will continue to explore ways to recognize exemplary work performance among employees and ensure that low-resourced children, teens and adults receive the financial help they need in order to access and benefit from the organization’s world class educational programs.

Amendments to Bylaws

In accordance with Article X, Section 2, these bylaws may be amended by a two-thirds vote of the Community Stakeholders at their annual meeting, provided the Community Stakeholders have been notified in writing of the proposed amendment two weeks in advance of the annual meeting.

Resolution to Amend the Bylaws of Hopkins House

Whereas the Trustees have completed a comprehensive review of the bylaws, which have not been comprehensively reviewed or amended since June 2014;

Whereas the Trustees believe that the governance of the organization may be enhanced by fewer trustees than the 30 currently authorized by these bylaws;

Whereas the Trustees believe there is a need to ensure direct communication between the board and “The Hopkins House Fund”, the semi-independent entity created to manage the organization’s resource development activities;

Whereas the Trustees believe that the current 24-month term limit for board officers hinders the development and implementation of long-term beneficial governance and strategies;

Whereas, the Trustees believe that there is compelling benefit to retaining access to the institutional knowledge and wisdom of former trustees; and,

Where notice of these amendments were sent to the Community Stakeholders more than two weeks prior to this meeting; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, that the organization’s bylaws are amended to:

1. limit to two consecutive 24-month terms, the time a Trustee may serve as a board officer;

2. limit to no fewer than 15 and no more than 24, the number of Trustees that may be elected to serve on the board;

3. reserve one voting seat on the board for a representative selected by the board of directors of The Hopkins House Fund;

4. create a “Council of Advisors” comprised of former trustees; and,

5. authorize the Secretary to make such other changes to these bylaws as will correct textual errors or clarify meaning.
