The Siouxland Human Investment Partnership (SHIP) was designated the Empowerment Board for Woodbury County in 1999. Empowerment is the Iowa Early Childhood initiative that was established through legislation in 1998. SHIP is also the designated Decategorization Board for Woodbury County. Decategorization is a collaborative child welfare, juvenile justice planning process. SHIP has evolved to position itself as an organization that is capable of administering initiatives with a Health, Human Service, Education and Public Safety focus and has a scope of pre-birth to death. SHIP is a collaborative board that currently has 22 members.
The intention of the SHIP Board is to be an advocate for the community. This is accomplished through efficient and effective planning, elimination of duplication and the presentation of a solid one voice message. The board serves as a clearinghouse for many issues that confront the County. The collaboration is also an effective process to leverage resources in an attempt to attract multiple funding opportunities.
