Polk Vision HOW WE’RE STRUCTURED ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE Board of Directors GOVERNANCE Operating Board STRATEGIC OPERATIONS Polk Vision is governed by a Board of Directors which oversees the Operating Board in its leadership of Teams working collaboratively on a range of complex issues in six foundational areas of focus. PRINCIPLES Foundational Areas of Focus These principles ensure our work is targeting systemic change or new ways of aligning resources to address underlying causes. Systemic change occurs when an outcome or goal has been attained. This achievement is either through the elimination of the problem or through permanently aligning programs, policies, funding streams or services to reduce the impact of the problem on a long term basis.
