We also have BUYcott events encouraging local residents to <br /> patronize one of our living wage employers on a designated day each quarter. <br /> d) Agency's History with Providing These Services: <br /> Certification of employers has been operational since Summer 2015. All certification <br /> activities are completed solely by a team of seven volunteers. From the beginning <br /> our efforts have been modeled on the certification program in Asheville, NC called <br /> Just Economics that was founded eight years ago and has now certified over 400 <br /> employers. <br /> e) Other Pertinent Agency Information (Ex. Has the agency experienced any major changes <br /> in the past year? Is there a new Executive Director?Are there new initiatives?) <br /> We reached the #100 mark for certified living wage employers in January 2017. Led <br /> by Orange County, all municipalities and other public employers in the county are <br /> now on board: the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough; both public <br /> school systems, OWASA, and Orange County ABC. The other certified employers <br /> include a diverse mix of for-profit and nonprofit businesses and organizations. To <br /> handle the growing workload, Orange County Living Wage hired a part-time <br /> administrative assistant in Fall 2016 to assist with budget management, community <br /> outreach, and fundraising. The administrative assistant position is funded through a <br /> generous outside funding grant from Orange County. Fueling further growth in the <br /> coming year is the development of a social media presence in several outlets, <br /> website development and enhancements, and a new mobile application. All of these <br /> efforts require paid consulting services for both development and ongoing <br /> maintenance. <br /> f) Schedule of Positions (For Entire Agency) <br /> • Full Time Equivalent(FTE) staff will be noted as 1.00; half time as .50; quarter time as .25, etc. <br /> • Calculate a Full Time Equivalent for all recorded volunteer hours using the following: <br /> Total Volunteer Hours=Volunteer FTE <br /> 2,080 <br /> # of FTE - Full-Time Paid Positions: 0 <br /> # of FTE - Paid Part-Time Positions: .25 <br /> # of Volunteers: 11 # of FTE - Volunteers: 1.75 (note: FTE for two <br /> of the volunteer officers is .40) <br /> g) Living Wage <br /> DO NOT SUBMIT THIS PAGE 12/15/2016 9:57:17 AMIII' : 14 lr 32 <br />
