Succession Planning for Key Staff Positions
(Staff Transition)
Join Susan Weinrich, NYCON’s Sr. VP of Nonprofit Capacity Building from 9:30AM-11:30AM following IHS' Annual Meeting.
Nonprofits continue to be adversely affected by the high rates of staff transition and this trend is likely to continue for some time. While succession planning is typically focused on Board and Executive leadership, there are steps that can be taken throughout the organization to prepare the organization for planned and unplanned staff transitions and absences in roles throughout the organization. This session will explore the steps organizations can take to pro-actively plan for and minimize the impact of these transitions on the organization and staff.
Registration is required for Annual Meeting and for the presentation following.

Emergency Overdose Wall Units in Steuben County | |
The battle against opioid abuse and overdose continues in Steuben County. The Steuben Prevention Coalition Opioid Committee in partnership with the CCS/L Opioid Overdose Prevention Program, has received 21 Emergency Overdose Wall Units from The Institute for Human Services funded through OASAS SOR II Collaboration.
These wall units will be located in areas of the county with higher-than-normal overdose rates as recorded on OD MAPS-HIDTA software and locations suggested by area law enforcement and EMT services. Naloxoboxes, as they are called, are secured metal housings that contain up to 4 boxes of naloxone (Narcan®). The wall units provide easy access to Narcan® and are intended to make it available at the time of a life-threatening emergency. The location of each unit requires community partners willing to monitor the units and contact members of the Opioid Committee when the unit needs to be refilled.
If someone you love or know is suffering from Opioid Use Disorder, please call 2-1-1 or text your zip code to 898211 for local resources.

Steuben County Releases Opioid Overdose Data
Steuben County Public Health
| |
|
BATH, NY – The Steuben County Public Health Department in partnership with Steuben County Community Services, Steuben County 911, and the Steuben Prevention Coalition’s Opioid Committee are bringing awareness to opioid overdoses in Steuben County. Monthly updates will be shared on the known number of overdoses, fatalities, and Narcan administrations.
“Public Health and our partners are in the business of saving lives and working to keep people healthy,” said Public Health Director, Darlene Smith. “Opioids are a current threat to the health and safety of our residents, with known overdoses more than doubling from 2020 to 2022. By raising awareness about the reality our county is facing and through sharing resources, we hope to start reversing that trend.”
Steuben County began utilizing the Overdose Detection Mapping Application Program (ODMAP) in 2020. ODMAP is used by local first responders to input suspected overdoses, fatalities, and instances of Narcan administration. While not all incidences that occur in Steuben are likely to be included, e.g., those that occur without medical intervention, a better idea of what is happening in Steuben is captured through the program.
In 2021, 246 suspected overdoses, 13 fatalities, and 102 administrations of Narcan were reported in ODMAP. In 2022, 289 suspected overdoses, 12 fatalities, and 92 administrations of Narcan were reported in ODMAP. In January 2023, 22 suspected overdoses, 1 fatality, and 7 administrations of Narcan were reported in ODMAP, which is on trend with last year’s numbers.
Local support is available. Steuben County Substance Abuse Services (SCASAS) offers outpatient services in Bath (607-664-2156), Corning (607-937-6201), and Hornell (607-324-2483) as well as after hour services (607-937-7800). CASA Trinity in Hornell (607-282-5200) and Ira Davenport Memorial Hospital in Bath offer detox and inpatient services as well. Residents are also encouraged to call 211, text zip code to 898211 or utilize 211helpline.org for other local supports.
