Many large organizations produce Annual Reports. For the last five years, Sarah has coordinated Wake County's Annual report. The report is produced on a fiscal year schedule and includes accomplishments from staff groups in each of the County's 12 departments and is produced in both hard copy and web formats.
The fiscal year 2012 Annual Report coordinates with the Budget-At-A-Glance and other corporate communications materials.
The online Annual Report was built using the structure from the prior year. New graphics, text and photos were used for a net savings.
Sarah coordinates the requests for proposals and contracts for design and printing; drafting and review of content; and distribution of the Annual Report.
In prior years, the Board of Commissioners had received several formal reports from staff on the progress of each goal to review during the annual planning retreat. The video streamlined this process and shortened presentations while providing a starting point for discussion on future goals. Staff from approximately 12 work groups worked to collaborate to provide content for the video.
This video was also used as a segment for the County's monthly public access television show, WakeGOV
TV. Using the video for the monthly television show as well as a special project maximized resources to create a retrospective look at the progress of goals set by the Board.
WakeGOV TV is broadcast daily through Wake County’s network
of government cable channels, including RTN (Raleigh Television Network), CaryTV,
East Wake TV, Holly Springs TV, and Cooperating Raleigh Colleges Channel 18.
