| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: - In partnership with the City of Long Beach and project team (Cameron Engineering, NP&V, LOLA, Urbanomics), Sustainable Long Island ("SLI") led the public outreach effort for the City's Comprehensive Plan and Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. This included five public open houses attended by 250+ participants, meetings with the Community Advisory Committee ("CAC"), and two focus group meetings, one dedicated to the arts and the other to economic development. SLI also coordinated and produced results for a City-wide planning concept survey taken by 1,200+ participants. - Continued a business recovery effort in the City of Long Beach with funding from Citibank, focused on providing resources and opportunities for local businesses, entrepreneurs, and start-ups, especially those impacted by Superstorm Sandy. SLI provided assistance for the design and printing of a business directory brochure for the City and held a business support expo at the MLK Center. - In concert with the Town of Islip and NP&V, SLI facilitated two public engagement meetings for the Towns Local Waterfront Revitalization Program for the communities of Sayville, West Sayville, and Bayport. SLI also coordinated and produced results for a community survey. - Launched the Reduce Rain Runoff program, an environmental health initiative that uses small-scale pilot projects and educational campaigns to promote the benefits of green infrastructure practices in residential, commercial, and community settings. Utilizing these beneficial practices helps to manage storm water runoff, which promotes infiltration of water into our aquifers, reduces pollutants, and mitigates flooding. SLI completed the following projects as part of this program: - Raingarden build at East Islip High School and educational challenge with the High Schools Green Academy students - Raingarden build behind Sherman Brown Park in North Park community of Long Beach and educational challenge with Long Beach Middle School art elective students - Raingarden build at Teatro Yerbabruja in Central Islip - Two tree plantings in Long Beach- Through funding from State Farm, SLI embarked on a Disaster Preparedness Campaign, with an emphasis on determining if Long Islanders are better prepared for natural disasters since experiencing the impacts of storms such as Superstorm Sandy and Tropical Storm Irene. As part of this program, SLI conducted a comprehensive online survey, supplemented by in-person intercept surveys for the collection of data. In addition, SLI developed and disseminated educational materials focused on disaster preparedness, including disaster pledge brochures, a social media guide, primers on emergency kits, and a guide to online resources. SLI engaged Stony Brook University and our High School Fellows in a Peer-to-Peer Educational Campaign using these materials. - Working with the Long Island Health Collaborative (LIHC), SLI launched a Complete Streets, Health, and Wellness initiative, which promotes an increase in walking, bicycling, and use of transit by supporting activities that lead to safer, more accessible streets for all users. The reduction of chronic disease through an increase in community walkability and related programs is a primary goal. SLI developed a Complete Streets Action Plan for Wyandanch and held a focus group with the LIHC, Town of Babylon, and community stakeholders. SLI also produced wayfinding signage templates for the Wyandanch Rising Plaza area and nearby Geiger Park.- Installed community gardens and conducted gardening workshops in three in Low-Moderate Income ("LMI") communities- beautifying neighborhoods and providing Long Islanders the opportunity to learn, live, and grow together: - Roosevelt Middle School - New Cassel- Yes We Can Center - Central Islip-Teatro Yerbabruja- Provided technical assistance, including cooking demonstrations, customer surveys, continuing education and a field trip to seven youth-staffed farmers' markets in Roosevelt, Bellport, Flanders, New Cassel, Wyandanch, Freeport, and Great Neck - advancing access to fresh, affordable food in underserved areas in need.- Along with project partners (Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County, Island Harvest, the county's Office of Minority Health), SLI progressed the Healthy Corner Stores Project aiming to improve the quality of food on local stores' shelves and to spur consumers to make more health-conscious choices when they go grocery shopping. The pilot project involves not only providing shoppers with smarter choices but also increasing those selections' popularity by re-configuring products and display space. Three stores in Mastic Beach, Wyandanch, and Gordon Heights have signed on to the program.- Completed Capstone/Graduate educational programs with a number of local higher learning institutions, including: Stony Brook University, NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, Long Island University, Farmingdale State College, and Molloy College. Programs varied from recycling research to an Integrated Transportation Plan for the City of Long Beach; from support for the Islip LWRP and farmers markets to dietetic interns. - SLI successfully completed the 6th Annual High School Fellowship Program and launched the 7th Annual Program. High school students in this program enjoy a variety of hands-on training, innovative projects, field trips, and guest speaker presentations that will teach the young adults about a variety of sustainability issues and planning methods. Our current fellowship program focuses on environmental resource management, water quality, energy conservation, and climate change, as well as additional sustainable development issues. |

For management staff, the executive director conducts an annual performance review against strategic goals, confidential staff assessments and benchmarks salaries against regional nonprofit compensation surveys. The process is outlined in Sustainable Long Island's employee handbook.

The employee will review and sign the written version. It will then become part of the employee's personnel file. An employee may have supervised access to his/her personnel file by requesting it from the executive director. A positive performance review does not guarantee a salary increase. |
