2009 ANNUAL REPORT
HANCOCK CENTER
FOR DANCE/MOVEMENT THERAPY
FROM THE DIRECTOR
Dear Friends,
The year 2009 marked Hancock Center’s 26th year. Changes that
occurred reflect changes in the larger community whether they are
the ups and downs of the market and economy, new and improved
technology, or explorations in the body-mind connection. We are
indebted to the expertise and commitment of both our staff and
board for seeing us through to meeting our goals and rolling with
the times.
We are very excited to have added another therapist to our ranks,
enabling us to expand our programming. In 2009 we continued to
offer more health and wellness education, hoping to attract more
varied populations to our modality. We also advanced our outreach
and visibility through the better use of technology: sending out
newsletters and announcements with email, creating new looks for
our materials, and using the internet for connecting and sharing.
Soon we will be unveiling our new logo, new website and new
“look” for 2010 and beyond. As always we have felt honored to
collaborate with other organizations in this vibrant community.
2009 saw a change in the national credentialing of dance/
movement therapists. The national registry is now a national board
certification (BC-DMT). All of our therapists are Board certified
in addition to being licensed to practice in the State of Wisconsin
(DTRL). Board certification increases dance/movement therapy’s
legitimacy and gives our therapists additional professional
support.
On another note we continued to provide therapy services in 2009
to clientele from challenging circumstances- whether economic,
physical or psychological. It has always been our mission to serve
the underprivileged, and that is from the heart of Hancock Center’s
non-profit status. Over the years, and including this past year, your
commitment has been crucial to our success in providing dance/
movement therapy to so many people. As Hancock Center enters
this new chapter of its life, we want to warmly thank all of our
donors and volunteers. We hope that
you will continue to be generous in
your support of Hancock Center’s
mission.
Sincerely,
Rena Kornblum
Executive Director
