“Under UP Partnership, the Future Ready Bexar County Plan was created, taking the network to the proverbial next level. It calls for 70% of all high school graduates in the city to attain a post-secondary career credential or education by 2030. Through it all, the Area Foundation has remained a steady and valuable partner, which includes being a key anchor partner ensuring the overall success of the plan.
‘Since I’ve been here, every step of the way, the Area Foundation has been one of our closest and most important partners,’ Lugalia-Hollon (CEO, UP Partnership) noted. ‘They’ve both invested in the work of the city-wide Future Ready movement, and they’ve aligned their professional developments around that as well.’”
