 So now on to the amazing Molly Cox. How many of you have heard of Molly Cox before? Molly has an undergrad degree in theater. You'll see that. And she has a graduate degree in political science. So you'll see this amazing combination that comes together. She's done tons of different things over the years. And so I can read on and on and on. But she is a certified non-profit leader. So I guess that she's got a piece of paper for that, right? And she serves as the director of UTSA's Center for Policy Studies, leading non-profit management programs for current professionals. And my phone just scrolled. And undergraduate and graduate students. The program on the Sprint Foundation's program on excellence award in 2010. In 2011 she started her own consulting business. I might give somebody a prize other than Molly. If you know what that name of the business is. Because it's only Molly. Non-profit fancy pants. Who does that, right? Molly. Where she worked with IRA non-profits on communication strategies, program evaluation and strategic planning. Her first two jobs in the consulting was Haven for Hope and SA 2020. She's the current president and CEO of SA 2020. She serves as a facilitator, a storyteller and a computer fundraiser, a communicator and a connector. Lots of different things. Here's Molly. Take it in. I'll use more coffee, but then it would just be into my vein. Hi. How's everyone? You feeling alright? Do we need to stand up and stretch? Everybody okay? Alright, if you need to get up and stretch, please do so. At any point while I'm speaking, just yell at me. And say, hey, I have a question. Stop real quick. I listened to Christine Drennan's talk. I've never heard it before. Just kidding. I've heard it multiple times, but every single time she does it, it gives me like another like, oh, that one made me think about something new. So I appreciate that I've already got a presentation and I'm going to adapt it based on what I heard from Christine Drennan today. I am not nearly as smart as Christine Drennan. That's why I've got a theater degree. So I say that because I don't have maps. I have infographics. Thanks. Thank you. So I'm going to walk us through a little bit of the SA 2020. I have a hair in my mouth. I'm on camera. SA 2020 and I'm not going to do a deep dive. Many of you know about it. Let's do this. How many of you don't know about SA 2020? Okay. Talk to the people at your table. I'm kidding. I'm going to give you a tiny bit, right? So we know back in 2010, nearly 6,000 people came together to sort of develop the vision for the future of San Antonio, right? And identifying, A, 11 cause areas ranging from arts and culture to education to economic competitiveness and neighborhoods. Each of those 11 cause areas had a vision statement under it. We want to be the healthiest residents in the United States of America, right? We want to have the greatest turnaround in education in the United States. Our neighborhood should be connected. Our transportation system should be the most efficient and sustainable transportation system in all the world. Okay. That might have been, I made that last part out. But it was serious, right? Like sweeping large results statements. In fact, it started literally right here in this building, in this room. I would love it to show hands. How many of you are here for that? Excellent. I love that Charlotte Anne is like, we are, we did it. I love it. Excellent. Over the course of five public convenings, we started right with these vision statements across 11 cause areas. And then we said, great, if that's where we want to go, how would we even know if we were making progress? And there were community indicators that rose to the top. At that time, there were about 65 community indicators since then. We've refined, we've refreshed, we figured it out, right? We are now at 61 community indicators. And that's what I'm going to walk you through today. The difference, and I'm, people are always asking like, okay, so it's a vision. Yeah, it is. It's a vision in a report. And it could have just stayed there, right? It could have just been the vision that goes on a shelf in someone's office. And 10 years, we would take it off and blow the dust and say, remember that time? That was cool. Let's do that again. The difference in San Antonio is that we took what could have been just a vision in a report. And in 2012 turned it into a nonprofit organization. I told somebody earlier, I started with, I'd say, 2020 and 2010. I was voluntold to be a table facilitator. So I did it. And then I became a consultant through the mayor's office for what would become SA 2020, the nonprofit. SA 2020, the nonprofit drives progress towards that shared vision. It is our job as a nonprofit agency with all the staff members that we have three to basically connect organizations, funders, individuals, congregations, faith-based institutions, and really align them towards community results. We have a very clear theory of change. We believe that if you figure out what your lane is, right, we at SA 2020 will step back and look at the entire freeway system and determine who's all in that lane, merge with another lane. Who's not in a lane at all? When does it exit? When does it come back on? And we'll even watch the mile markers to see if you're getting where you said you wanted to go. On the screen in front of you, you're going to see a bunch of tiny little gray dots and then some more colorful circles. Those colorful circles are the 11 cause areas that I mentioned earlier, right? Those are the ones with the vision statements, transportation arts, neighborhoods, transportation, environmental sustainability, all the little gray dots. And then there's some orange ones that you can't really see, but they're there. There's some red ones. Our partners. Organizations, particularly nonprofit agencies, there's 133 of them who have said the work that we are doing, the mission that we serve, aligns towards the following major community results, right? And if at any point during the chat that we have today, you say, hey, I'm bored with you and I want to do something else, you can go to sa2020.org slash partners and actually filter through all 133 organizations based on the area that speaks the most to you, right? You're super excited about arts and culture. Go to sa2020.org slash partners, click arts and culture and see how many agencies pop up that will tell you their program outcomes, the things that they're doing at a micro level. And we are trying to help them translate that micro outcome to the macro, right? And we know that if everybody is working in their own spaces, that ultimately we add up enough to start to see shifts at the community level, right? We spend all of our time doing three what we'll call programs, but don't hold me to that word, right? We engage the community in targeted action. We want to activate our community to move. We align organizations, city departments, funders, and we say, all right, what are all the little micro things that you're doing that could ultimately translate up? And then, and I think this is probably our most important space, we hold our community accountable to where we said we wanted to go. That is actually our most important job because again, it could have been just a report sitting on a shelf, nobody does anything with it, and then later we go, hey, did it move or didn't it? We literally spend all of our time doing that because we believe in this. We didn't write this. Every time that I ask somebody, what does a great San Antonio look like? Tell me. What does an equitable San Antonio look like? I didn't make any of this up. It came out of five public meetings from nearly 6,000 San Antonians sitting around in tables, much like what you're doing today. I basically went through all 11 vision areas, right, and pulled sort of from each of those to create sort of one giant master vision, yeah? That last sentence is one of my favorites. Our entire community takes responsibility for our collective well-being. It speaks to this idea, right, that you, in your own pocket, really can ultimately help the entire community. I know I mentioned earlier that we were like the freeway system watchers, right? I can tell you, based on that crazy thing with all the circles, right, that there are very clear spaces where we need more help, even in listening to Drennen's speech or her entire presentation on just housing, right? The far-reaching implications of that and education and family well-being and economic competitiveness and arts and culture and transportation, all of these are the areas that our community said were important to shift. We recently released the SA2020 Impact Report in January, actually, almost exactly one month ago today. You can find it online at sa2020.org and slash reports. We try to make things real simple, young. If you need a report, go to the reports page, you know. You want to see the progress on our community? Go to the slash progress. We also have a dashboard so you can see every single one of the indicators and how it's moving at sa2020.org slash progress. But if you want to see the entire report and it's a beautiful report, y'all, it's beautiful. We have a board member who is obviously a graphic design genius who lovingly does this for us. It helps you see how everything is interconnected, everything, right? Your house, where you live, your street, your neighborhood school, the bus system that may or may not come by your space, right? All of it is interconnected and helps drive everything else. It is either impacted by or impacts, right? At all times it's moving. In fact, we speak very specifically about that, that community change is cyclical. Did y'all see how amazing that was? Look at that. It's all, look how pretty. I didn't even know I did that. Thank you. I feel like I'm done here. Community change is cyclical, y'all, right? The infrastructure that we're speaking about when we talk about housing or transit, right? Is nothing, if all we're doing is counting houses and counting bus lanes and counting bus stops, right? Those things help move. Those are the spaces in which people live, right? We see the community changes cyclical. I say 2020 didn't start when everybody was a baby, right? Like in 2010, we were all babies and everything was equal and equitable and the whole thing started. Now everything is fine. No. I just got over here. No. The reason we use this as a cycle is, man, if we could start everybody off on the same exact foot, that early childhood, leading into education and workforce, everybody has the right job. They're doing the good things. We live in great houses. We're all healthy. At 100%, I'm just going to take a moment and remind you that we are on a primary election. As of right now, early voting has begun. Just say it out loud. Somebody say it again. Primary election is happening right now. Okay. If you need help on that, go to ilovesanantonio.org. We link you to all the things. We've got space around poverty goes away, right? Because we just figured it all out. Everyone's been figured out except that's not what happened. So we believe that at any point in this cycle, you can inject an intervention. And then we see some shifts, right? Pre-K for SA was an intervention. We needed something to shift. Here's an intervention, right? You can see it in roll SA, a collaborative here in San Antonio of hospitals and medical institutions, nonprofits, community-based organizations who said we need to get more people enrolled in health care. Why? Not because it was law, but because San Antonio said we want to have the healthiest residents in the United States of America and the way to get there would be to have more people with access to health care. Politics removed, y'all, right? San Antonio said that. It wasn't mandated. So these 40-some-odd institutions got together and said, how, how can we fix declining health care? Let's work together collaboratively. And we've seen a shift, right? And how many people have more access to health care in San Antonio? At any point in this, you can do an intervention to shift the way that the community is currently operating. I want to talk very specifically. Perhaps you've heard our community is growing. Yes, that's not news to you. We're going to double our population by the year 2040. Every time that we say that, people are like, nah, these people don't need to move here. It's not just moving. Like, there's already 1.4 million people here. There's such things as babies, right? Like, I mean, they can stay in their own space. Well, they could, but also babies. What we're seeing currently, right, is that we've got two things happening simultaneously. Also in this, I always like to say this because I feel like it's important to be candid. San Antonio is an economic paradox. Yeah? We are seeing such amazing economic growth. Our unemployment rate is at, like, the lowest it has been in decades, like at 3.7%. Our unemployment rate in target industries, these are the industries that have the potential to have the biggest impact on our economy. IT, healthcare, biosciences, advanced manufacturing, employment in those areas are moving at an exponential rate. All of that's happening. Whereas we are one of the top cities in the United States for millennial college-educated growth. Young college-educated professionals are coming here to San Antonio. And at the exact same time, you heard her say it, we're the most income-segregated city in the United States. One in five people live in poverty. Our college attainment rate is about 34%. Lower than Texas, certainly lower than the United States. Both of those things are happening simultaneously. And it is our job, right, because we said we believe in the collective well-being of our community. It is our job to figure out how we do both and. How do we recruit talent for our industry? How do we build up our home-grown talent? How do we support them? How are we doing both of these things at the same time? And that's actually how SA-2020 operates. It's in a yes-and-proposition, right? When we released our report of the 61 community indicators we currently track, 70% of them are moving in the right direction. 70%. That sounds amazing, right? 70%. So the data is a little bit later than everything else, right? It always runs late. Wish people would figure out how to make it run faster. It doesn't. So our 2017 impact report tracks data from about 2015 to about 2017, right? So it's a little bit behind. So just after halfway, we're doing pretty okay, right? It's important. I want to just give that to you. This is what it looks like when 70% of the indicators are moving in the right direction. That star at the top is the year 2020. That's the goal we're trying to get to. You don't necessarily need to know all 61 of these community indicators. I make the joke that I actually do. They're all in my brain. It's why I can't remember anyone's names or birthdays. These are all 61 community indicators that we're currently tracking. If it's moving up above the line, it means it's moving in the right direction, yeah? Below, not doing so well, right? So in some cases, it looks like there's nothing there, right? So in that yellow-green area at the front, it looks like there's nothing there. It just means it's remain stagnant. Nothing's moved. It's just saying, bless you. Just based on what you're seeing here, not knowing at all what the indicators are, where are we having challenges? Transportation, housing, education, jobs. I see that big, long purple one that's going down. Yep, civic engagement and government, yep. We're not even knowing anything, right? We just look at this snapshot and say, whew, there's some space that we need help in, right? Like that purple one that's going down, that's health and fitness, our pink one. It's weird to see it. It is pink, maybe not in the slide, but it is pink, family wellbeing, right? Here's what we know, right, of those indicators that I just showed you. 10 of those indicators have been met or exceeded. We've met or exceeded the goal already. And I'll tell you even more specifically that things that are like super exciting, right? Things like teen pregnancy rate. Bear County had in 2010 the top teen pregnancy rate in the entire United States of America. We're number one. No, we're not excited about that one. You never want to be number one there, right? And in fact, what they said is, hey, let's reduce the teen pregnancy rate by 90 by 15% by the year 2020. By the year 2012, reduce the teen pregnancy rate by 15%. By the year 2020, they said, great, then let's reduce the teen pregnancy rate by 25% by the year 2020. Did that by 2014, right? We want to reduce the teen pregnancy rate now by 50%, almost there. And that date only raises to 2016. That's something to celebrate. We're still on the highest teen pregnancy rate in the United States. Across the United States, teen pregnancy rate is going down. But in Bear County, we are reducing that gap exponentially. And we're doing that because of a very specific way that we like to work. Put the goal in the center of the table. Put everybody that is working on that goal together around the table. And say, what's your piece? And then let's go do that. And the San Antonio Teen Pregnancy Prevention Collaborative has done just that, right? So there's multiple ways to start celebrating. There's 11 or 18% of our indicators are on track. We believe trending-wise, they will get to where we want to go by the year 2020. 22 are making progress, not necessarily at the rate we need them to, but they're moving in the right direction. And then there's 17 that are just off track they're completely off the mark. They're either stagnant or they're going backwards. One, we call in development. Recidivism rate hasn't been tracked across Bear County. And it just, we just got the very, it's 2018, we just got the first baseline number for that. So now it's being tracked. I mentioned all of those things to you because here's what happens every single time I talk about community indicators. We immediately go to the data. Did I start with the data? I started with the vision statement. I said, this is where you told us you wanted to go. When we say you said, our job is to drive progress towards a shared vision, not a shared data, not a shared indicator. The indicators are near tracking, right? Are we moving to the space that you said you wanted to go? So when I tell you some indicators are moving in the right direction or they've already been met and some are not, we also have to be mindful of what happens when some indicators are not moving and ultimately translate to making everything that follows them also not move, right? Let's talk specifically about, actually let me go here. That pink one here, let's just make sure you know, this is family wellbeing. It's pink. It is just not maybe in this line. Don't think fun in my pink. The one that goes all the way to the top says we've met or exceeded, right? We've met it. That's child abuse rates. We've decreased the amount of child abuse in San Antonio. Ah, ah, ah. We haven't, right? The most important thing that I can get you to do after today is to ask why. Why is this indicator moving? Why is this one not? What's happening here, right? So, child abuse rate accordingly, because we're tracking data, we've reduced, confirmed child abuse cases. Only our pals over at Community Information Now who are also our data partners actually crunched some numbers in this investigative process. And what their number show is actually there hasn't been a decline in child abuse rates. There's been a decline in how many cases CPS has investigated. I like that, that's like, ah, ooh, right? That's a systemic problem. It hasn't gone down. It's just our ability, the system's ability to handle those cases. Let's talk about another one, yeah? Let's talk about that yellow civic engagement government accountability. That's the yellow ones at the very end. You'll see some of them are moving, and then one's going way down. That's actually philanthropic giving. To be fair, y'all, this is not I'm going to give it to you. Philanthropic giving, typically what we do is talk more specifically about foundations and corporations. Data shows us, nope. People who give the most are the people who have the least percentage-wise, and it's always individuals. I'm here today to ask you for dollars. That's the basic thing I'm saying to you. Just kidding. So let's talk voter turnout. I mentioned earlier 100%, right? Would be amazing if we had 100% voter turnout. We have 13.4% in the municipal voter turnout. I just got it grown. It's my favorite thing to get it grown. But what are we supposed to do about data? Let's ask why. Ask more specific questions, right? 13.4% in a municipal election is up. For 7.2% would be starting tracking the information. We're actually doing great. Right? We've nearly doubled voter turnout. Let's speak even more specifically about it. 13.4% of municipal voter turnout saw a doubling, double millennial voter turnout in the last election from 3.5% to 7%. Whatever. This is when I come back to we have to be willing to say, progress is progress. Let's celebrate it. And then let's highlight some challenges, right? We had nearly 100,000 people vote in the municipal vote for mayor, right? Just recently in 2017 almost 100,000 people voted. We haven't cracked that since 2005. So that's progress, right? And in fact, if you look at these maps that our friends over at community information now crunched, what you're seeing here is the change in voter turnout and the change in number of registered voters. Decrease of 10% or more is red. Everything else, well, that's a lie. The orange is also a decrease. All blues mean there's an increase in voter turnout. Light blue, dark blue. Do you see on that side how many light blues, dark blues? There's no change if it's just that weird yellow color, right? So what we started to see actually is that many precincts saw an increase in the amount of people that turned out to vote by at least 2% or 10% points. And that's something worth celebrating. It's still not great, right? But it's moving. So when we ask questions we also have to think about how these things are interconnected, right? Somebody mentioned earlier hey, that thing that says jobs. Yeah, that long purple one that's going way, way down. And then you'll see that mint green one next to it in education that's all the way at the top. That's high school graduation rates. Remember, I told you sometimes we have great things. High school graduation rates, 85% was our goal by the year 2021 at 85% high school graduation rate. We're at about 88% now. We hit 85% in 2014. Fantastic, right? I know. We start to clap. It's cool. I dig it. Everything after that mint green one is after high school. And that purple one that's going down, professional certificates. Another one after high school. Right? So just by looking at that we can see we're having a challenge and getting to the goals that we need for after high school. Let's just chat about that. This is the SA 2020 result, right? The vision statement under education. The result our community said they wanted to see by the year 2020. San Antonio provides access to quality education for all students no matter where they live. Parents are engaged. Citizens contribute to meet the challenges and opportunities. Teachers thrive. Students learn. We've got lifelong learners. Anything that Christine Jenin talked about that might contribute to potentially problems in our education system? Housing values? Maybe property taxes. Right? It's all interconnected friends. It's important to say this out loud. 65% of jobs by the year 2020 will require something beyond high school. A certificate, an associate, a bachelor's it's going to require something beyond high school. I say this out loud because most of the time when I talk about college completion I get at least one person who in their brain thinks college is for everyone. If you say that out loud to me, we'll have a fight. I'm not really. I'm not going to really fight you. Nice. But I will yell at you. When you think that, I want you to close your eye or eyes, both of them. Close your eyes and envision the student that you would tell that to. What's that kid look like? Does it look like your kid? Never your kid. Never your kid. 65% of jobs need something beyond high school. Here's another little tidbit. We worked with CEOs for cities to create the talent dividend for San Antonio Metro. What this basically is telling us is that if we could increase college education we're going to go bachelor's degree or higher by 1%. Which is about 14,000 degrees. You would see a $1.4 billion economic return to our community. 14,000 degrees $1.4 billion economic return. We know right now there are 218,000 adults in San Antonio, Texas with some college no degree. 218,000 people just waiting to complete a degree so that they can then move forward. Here's Alamo Colleges degree in certificate production by fiscal year. It was crunched by my pal Mike Viria. It shows that we're seeing an increase in associates and certificates just not at the rate we need. To get where we should. We know that there's one person right now in San Antonio, Texas moving through our education system for every 10 IT jobs available today. There's one person moving through our education system in San Antonio, Texas that is available and ready for two healthcare bioscience jobs that are available today. Of course we have to recruit. What are we doing about our homegrown workforce? These are the indicators that we're using to get us to this vision. You can see it. We're off track in improving third grade reading like so off track. We're off track in increasing college enrollment. We're off track with increasing adults with college degrees. Let's go even further into economic competitiveness. When you look at something like this there's a very distinct picture being painted. But I think because you're separated out by council districts we should probably take it a step further, yeah? Here's your educational attainment for the city of San Antonio. It gives you a pretty decent look at where we are. I'm just going to take the two districts that have the most disparate educational attainment outcomes. Is that okay with you? I heard it earlier. 7207. District 5 near Westside. District 9, Northside. 10 miles apart. You see it? Nervous about sharing this information because we immediately go to like, well, exactly what... Christine Jenner brought it up, right? Well, it's about choice. I mean maybe they just don't want to go to college, right? And I'm telling us how we've just made it difficult. It's clear. Look at per capita income by council district. That means an individual, it's an average individual income, right? That's by district. You can see it. I mean, look at these numbers, y'all. That's not to say that District 9 is so fantastic and they never need anything ever again. It's just to say we believe, as we said we did, in the collective well-being of our entire community, we have to know where everyone in our community currently stands. We want to create equitable outcomes for everybody. We need to know where everybody is and where the need is and how can we contribute to that need? How are we driven by the mission of making sure that everyone is doing what we said we wanted? Sorry, you want this one again? You were taking a photo? You got it? You're good. You're welcome. You want me to go photobomb it? I will. There you go. So, I say this without, sorry, these are the results, right? These are the indicators that lead us to the results. They're telling us if we're moving in the right direction. And in some cases we are. And in some cases and the more we talk about the fact that we are an income segregated city or that one in five people live in poverty and we don't talk about education, housing, transit, arts and culture, environmental sustainability, right? If our air quality is bad, our asthma is bad, we don't talk about the fact that there's a 20-year average lifespan difference between Southside and Northside. We don't say that out loud. We can never actually work towards being responsible for our entire collective well-being. So we have to be willing to say, hey, we're making some great progress and we have a lot of work to do. Here are the things that I want you to be thinking of as you move through the next piece, right? I want you to lead with the results. Where are we going and why? Where are we going? Why are we going there? This is such a pitfall for so many people. No one owns community results. No one person, no one entity, no matter how many times you tweet at the city of San Antonio, they do not own the entirety of community results. But every single person does own a piece of it. If you can define what that piece is and work into that space, can you imagine the kind of collective amazing impact we could have together? And then finally we have to do both. We have to celebrate successes. We have to highlight challenges because inside those successes is something we can learn from in the challenges, right? We can talk about the fact that an entire collaboration, all working on teen pregnancy came together and began working and we reduced teen pregnancy in Bear County. That's something to look at when we think about education. We say it all the time that SA 2020 believes that when we work together on common community goals, positive community change happens. And we don't just say that, we actually prove it, right? Over and over again we prove it. I can't say it enough. We are results driven. Some people call those values or values driven. Then we are data informed and most importantly we are people powered. How are people impacted by the work that we are doing? Who is negatively impacted? Who is positively impacted? Are we thinking about this over archingly? That's us. Find us there. I implore you to ask more questions about why. Yes ma'am? To both of us want to know but to become aware of the fact that suicide comes from your room when you are sleeping at night. And this wasn't because I also managed that it's supposed to make a north side the west side of the country but it's not meant to be. So I wanted to come down to make more changes. I don't know. I don't know. Because if you have experience you are going to be able to do that. I appreciate that. I appreciate the idea of individual shifts and changes. I think that's important. Understanding who you are your own experiences and how that's happening. I think there's a conversation also to be had at your tables about that. While I believe individuals should be moving their own spaces forward SA-2020 works in systemic change. We want to work to break down any barriers that don't allow for individual mobility in the way that they want to. It's not my job at all and it shouldn't be y'all's to impose upon someone else how they should be doing something. Which is why today I'm very clearly and I want to make sure that I say it again out loud what are you doing in your space to ultimately affect community change. Not what somebody else should be doing. That's very, very important and I thank you for what you said and I'm passing to you. Both Molly and Mary because it's both and because the other thing that Molly talked about but what can we do collectively and how can we move forward. I mean that's why the faith-based initiative was formed because the faith community is the largest natural resource in SA-2020. What would we do with that largest natural resource if we just work together more in proximity the closer that we can get in proximity.
