Get Off The List: Organization Profiles |
Edgecombe County Manager, Eric Evans, has been championing a county-wide initiative called "Get Off the Lists". Mr. Evans worked with former County Manager, Lorenzo Carmon, who used to express his frustration with a common observation: that Edgecombe County was often found at the top or the bottom of many of the lists used to measure a county’s success, health, wealth, and development.
As the current County Manager, Mr. Evans found himself with a similar observation: the Edgecombe County community and its residents face difficult challenges each day and have limited access to many resources. To begin to combat these challenges and as a call to action, Mr. Evans is urging community members to work together to “get off the lists”!
According to the County Healthy Rankings, most of the lists Edgecombe County is on fall under one of the following categories, so the following will be our four focus areas.
1. Youth and Family
2. Education & Workforce Development
3. Health Equity
4. Affordable Housing
