A letter from our Founding Executive Director, Stacey L. Carless: Greetings!
We are excited to share NC Counts Coalition’s 2024 - 2031 Strategic Framework, a roadmap guiding our efforts toward a healthy, just, and equitable North Carolina. This framework, born from thoughtful planning and collaboration, reflects our organization’s deep commitment to historically undercounted communities and ensures that every action we take is purpose- driven and aligned with our mission. Our state is at a critical juncture, facing significant challenges and opportunities that will shape our social, economic, civic, and overall well-being. Now, more than ever, we need innovative, collaborative, and impactful approaches to systematically address the needs of historically undercounted communities. Since our organization’s inception, we have always stood at the forefront of advocating for these communities, and this new Strategic Framework is a testament to our strengthened commitment. This Strategic Framework is not just a document—it is a dynamic, living guide that will inform our decisions, align our efforts, and keep us focused on our goals. The development of this framework was a collective effort, and I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our Board of Directors, staff, member organizations, partners, and stakeholders for their invaluable contributions. Your support has been the cornerstone of our successes, and I am confident that together, we will continue to make a lasting impact across North Carolina. As the Founding Executive Director of NC Counts Coalition, it fills me with immense pride and gratitude to witness the incredible growth and impact of our organization. What began as a vision to ensure that every person in North Carolina was counted in the 2020 Census has evolved into a powerful movement, driven by the unwavering commitment of our staff, Board of Directors, member organizations, partners, allies, and friends. Thank you for your commitment to NC Counts Coalition and to the people of North Carolina. We look forward to the journey ahead and the incredible work we will continue to accomplish together.
With Gratitude, Stacey L. Carless
