NCPC ALSO PERFORMED RIGOROUS MONITORING OF LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS AND DELIVERED QUALITY TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND TRAINING. 502587 433586 THE PRIVATELY-FUNDED SHAPE NC INITIATIVE HAS LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR A COMPREHENSIVE AND COORDINATED EARLY CHILDHOOD OBESITY PREVENTION AND HEALTH PROMOTION NETWORK IN NORTH CAROLINA. AN IMPLEMENTATION TEAM OF EXPERTS IN THE FIELDS OF NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND OUTDOOR LEARNING HAVE COMBINED THREE DISTINCT PROGRAMS THAT FOCUS ON NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND OUTDOOR LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, CREATING A MODEL THAT IS INTEGRATED AND COMPREHENSIVE. THE TEAM HAS DEVELOPED CORE CONTENT TRAINING MODULES TO DISSEMINATE THE MODEL BOTH NOW AND BEYOND THE CURRENT GRANT INVESTMENT PERIOD.THE FIRST EIGHT SHAPE NC SITES HAVE DEVELOPED A LOCAL ACTION PLAN TO PREVENT EARLY CHILDHOOD OBESITY TAILORED TO THE NEEDS OF ITS COMMUNITY BY ENGAGING STAKEHOLDERS FROM HEALTH CARE, THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AND OTHER SECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY. THESE TEAMS ARE ADDRESSING IMPROVEMENTS IN NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND/OR OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTS. EACH SHAPE NC PARTNERSHIP ALSO HAS DESIGNATED A CHILD CARE CENTER THAT, WITH THE SUPPORT OF SHAPE NC TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND TRAINING, HAS COMMITTED TO BECOMING A MODEL EARLY LEARNING CENTER ADHERING TO BEST PRACTICE STANDARDS IN NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND OUTDOOR LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. THESE CENTERS WILL SERVE AS DEMONSTRATION SITES FOR NEIGHBORING CENTERS TO MODEL. SHAPE NC HAS BUILT A NETWORK OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND COACHING EXPERTS TO SUPPORT CHILD CARE CENTERS IN BECOMING MODEL EARLY LEARNING CENTERS. SHAPE NC SPECIALISTS PROVIDE LOCAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE STAFF WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO TRAIN CHILD CARE STAFF TO IMPROVE NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTS IN CHILD CARE CENTERS. BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF LOCAL STAFF WHO WILL CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE TO CENTERS ASSURES SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PROJECT AFTER THE PROJECT GRANT INVESTMENT ENDS.SHAPE NC IS HAVING IMPACT IN CHILDCARE CENTERS ACROSS THE STATE, WITH ITS REACH EXTENDING BEYOND THE CENTERS DIRECTLY PARTICIPATING IN THE PROJECT. THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES ILLUSTRATE THIS:-IN A RURAL PARTNERSHIP, THE LOCAL HEAD START CENTER IS DESIGNATED AS THE SHAPE NC MODEL EARLY LEARNING CENTER. THEIR ASSESSMENT FOUND THAT MANY OF THE FOODS THEY WERE SERVING WERE NOT MEETING BEST PRACTICE STANDARDS. THE CENTER DIRECTOR, WITH TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FROM SHAPE NC, IS PILOTING A NUMBER OF MENU CHANGES.

(NCPC) HAS A STAFF DEDICATED TO ON-SITE FINANCIAL AND PROGRAMMATIC MONITORING OF GRANTS. POLICIES, PROCEDURES, AND MONITORING PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN IN PLACE SINCE 2001 AND ARE PERIODICALLY REVIEWED AND REVISED AS NEEDED. OF THE GRANTEES, 77 (REPRESENTING NEARLY 100% OF OUR TOTAL GRANTS) ARE NONPROFITS THAT PROVIDE SERVICES TO NORTH CAROLINA'S YOUNG CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH NORTH CAROLINA'S EARLY CHILDHOOD INITIATIVE ("SMART START"). AS REQUIRED BY STATE LEGISLATION, THESE GRANTEES GENERALLY HAVE BIENNIAL YELLOW-BOOK AUDITS (FINANCIAL AND COMPLIANCE) BY AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM. ACCORDINGLY, NCPC TYPICALLY COORDINATES ITS MONITORING EFFORT WITH THAT OF THE AUDITORS AND, THEREFORE, ALSO MONITORS THESE GRANTEES. MONITORING IS RIGOROUS AND INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, A REVIEW OF BOARD OF DIRECTOR OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING, AND PROGRAMMATIC COMPLIANCE. A FORMAL CLOSE-OUT CONFERENCE IS HELD WITH BOARD MEMBERS, MANAGEMENT, AND OTHER STAFF. SUBSEQUENT TO THE CLOSE-OUT CONFERENCE, A FORMAL MONITORING REPORT WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT IS ISSUED TO THE GRANTEE'S BOARD CHAIR, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. DEPENDING UPON THE NATURE AND NUMBER OF ISSUES NOTED IN THE REPORT, A MONITORING VISIT MAY BE HELD IN SIX TO EIGHT MONTHS TO FOLLOW UP ON THE STATUS OF THE ISSUES NOTED IN THE REPORT. NCPC'S EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT IS PROVIDED WITH A SUMMARY OF GRANTEE MONITORING RESULTS.

THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS INTENDED TO PROMOTE THE AVOIDANCE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY BY NCPC DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND STAFF. IT SETS THE RULES FOR CONDUCT, INCLUDING DISCLOSURE BY DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF PERSONAL OR FINANCIAL INTERESTS THAT MAY AFFECT THE BUSINESS OF NCPC. ANNUALLY EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD IS REQUIRED TO REVIEW A COPY OF THE POLICY AND TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE OR SHE HAS DONE SO. THE POLICY IS MONITORED AND ENFORCED THROUGH THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS: A. PRIOR TO ACTION ON A CONTRACT OR TRANSACTION, THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE CHAIR SHALL ASK THE GROUP TO IDENTIFY ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. A DIRECTOR WHO KNOWS HE OR SHE HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST SHALL DISCLOSE THE CONFLICT AND SUCH DISCLOSURE SHALL BE REFLECTED IN THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING. B. WHEN THERE IS A DOUBT AS TO WHETHER A CONFLICT EXISTS, THE MATTER SHALL BE RESOLVED BY A VOTE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS EXCLUDING THE PERSON(S) CONCERNING WHOSE SITUATION THE DOUBT HAS ARISEN. C. ALL APPOINTED BOARD MEMBERS SHALL AVOID CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY. SHOULD INSTANCES ARISE WHEN A CONFLICT MAY BE PERCEIVED, ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO MAY BENEFIT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THE NCPC'S DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS SHALL ABSTAIN FROM PARTICIPATING IN ANY DECISION OR DELIBERATIONS BY NCPC REGARDING THE DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS. D. THE PERSON KNOWN TO HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST MAY NOT VOTE ON THE CONTRACT OR TRANSACTION AND MUST LEAVE THE ROOM DURING THE VOTE UNLESS LEAVING THE ROOM BRINGS ATTENDANCE BELOW THE LEVEL OF A QUORUM. THE OFFICIAL MINUTES SHALL REFLECT THAT THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST WAS DISCLOSED AND PERSON(S) WITH THE CONFLICT WERE NOT PRESENT DURING THE VOTE AND DID NOT VOTE ON THE MATTER.
