A twenty-three-year old nonprofit organization, the North Side Children's Agency (NSCA) was founded to serve very low-income working parents who qualified for income-established government child care subsidies. In support of its own assignment, the NSCA operated year-round, full-day child care programs at seven different sites for kids from six weeks through twelve years of age.
It employed a typical nonprofit governing model with a volunteer board of directors, each of whom was assigned to one of six committees, which operated fairly independently. Board members were not surprised by the disaster but also unprepared to manage the short- and long term problems it raised. Board members think strategically about the organization's response and required strong leadership to organize them to identify the causes of the disaster.
