Whiteside County Healthier Communities Partnership
Community Needs and Promotion Committee:
We, as citizens of Whiteside County, must stay in tune with local, statewide, and national issues.  We also must ensure that our elected officials understand the needs of those involved with providing services and jobs for the citizens of Whiteside County. 

The Community Needs and Promotion Committee is dedicated to staying involved, keeping track of these issues, and building awareness.  We are also dedicated to working to working collaboratively to identify and fill unmet community needs. 

Our Goals for 2011-2012:

• Develop small targeted events to address community needs

• Maintain newsletter and annual Partnership luncheon and other promotional events as needed
