Tanner to give keynote at United Way case management summit

QUINCY — The United Way of Adams County Community Building Council Poverty team will host a case management summit from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June 26 at the Quincy Senior Center.  

The summit aims to bolster awareness and collaboration in case management within Adams County. Highlights of the day include Ryan Jude Tanner who will speak during brunch.

“The summit’s mission is straightforward: to transform and safeguard lives through comprehensive case management,” Tanner said in a press release. “However, its scope extends beyond simplicity. Each provider shoulders the Herculean responsibility of breaking the cycle of generational poverty, particularly for young children and their families.  I have a bird’s eye view of what happens when the Adams County community harnesses its full potential.”

A “Lived Experience” panel will offer invaluable insights into navigating the complexities of poverty case management. The summit will include workshops on “Culture of Care,” “Client Engagement & Relationships” and “Transportation,” fostering networking opportunities among agencies and an environment of knowledge exchange and professional growth.

“The Community Building Council (CBC) Solution Teams are a direct result of the Community Needs Assessment, published in conjunction with Blessing Health System and the Adams County Health Department,” said Natalie Cornwell, director of community impact and reinvestment at the United Way of Adams County. “One of the CBC Poverty Team goals is to Increase access to individualized case management and programming for residents of Adams County. The team hopes the summit will do just that, offering information on reducing barriers, enhancing accessibility and ensuring client support within a framework that emphasizes client participation as a collaborative effort.”
