2013 Annual Report - NorthPointe Resources

Since1953
Celebrates 60 years of empowering people
with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD)
and/or mental health issues to achieve their dreams.
A N N UA L
REPORT
More than 50 years ago Wayne Pollard, on behalf
of his daughter Carolyn, asked the question...
“What quality of life choices exist for an individual
with a disability?”
He discovered there were little to no options.
Institutional care was the only alternative provided,
warehousing over 5,000 people with disabilities. Wayne, like
many other families at that time, chose to keep his daughter
at home and worked tirelessly to promote her quality of life.
Through his vision of education for persons with disabilities,
he sought other families in the same situation and established a
small school for children with mental retardation in 1953.
The Lake County Educational Society for Retarded Children is established.
Located in the Zion Catholic College, seven children attend classes
taught by two teachers. The needs keep growing and four schools
are added and a program for teens is opened in Round Lake.

A Letter from the Chairman of the Board and interim CEO
To Our Donors and Friends,
Sometimes it’s good to look back. What better time to do so then as we celebrate an important anniversary.
This year, 2013, marks sixty years that NorthPointe Resources has been serving Individuals with Intellectual
and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) and/or mental illness in the Lake County. Over the years as an
agency we have seen tremendous change and growth. We’ve evolved into a comprehensive service
organization while maintaining the core principles of service and dedication—the foundation upon which
this organization was built. Back in 1953 when a group of parents got together to establish a community
focused, educational option and a better future for their family members, little did they know how their
dream would grow and flourish. These founding fathers of our organization could not have predicted the
important role NorthPointe would play in the lives of so many individuals and their families. They would be
proud to witness our stewardship in action, and the compassionate service and dedication that are standard
operating procedures for NorthPointe Resources.
But it is always important to look ahead. What does the future hold for NorthPointe in these changing
times which include economic uncertainty? On the positive side, an exciting change is a national movement called Employment First. A number of states have already implemented Employment First policies
and practices and we are is in the process of determining how to execute this initiative. To NorthPointe,
economic uncertainty means recognizing the trends and the limitations of government funding, and that
we must begin to expand and grow our funding resources to survive—but more importantly to thrive.
We will be exploring diversification, setting clear priorities, using data effectively, and relying on the input
and expertise of stakeholders to make sure we’re making the most effective decisions and devising the best
strategies. We plan to work hard to engage a wider network of partners who can help to bring diverse
perspectives to the work we’re doing together. As we address these important issues, we will be guided
first and foremost by how this work contributes to our overarching goal of helping improve the lives of
the people we serve. In the end, that is the reason why we’re here.
At this time we want to thank everyone who has helped in NorthPointe’s success. With the knowledge
that change is inevitable NorthPointe stands ready to move forward. We look forward to working with
you to build an even better future for the people we serve.

70s
In 1975, NorthPointe opens a second location in the old Zion
Roller Rink. Sheltered Workshop services continued to grow in
response to the work-training needs. Because of the growth,
a new location with double the space was found, and we move
to the (old) Warwick building in Zion.
