Vision in Action
All elements of the Countywide Vision are in action and our efforts are moving us closer to achieving the goals of a complete county.
We partner with local business and educators to help us produce an educated workforce capable of sustaining our economic prosperity in the future.
We partner with water agencies to conserve and plan for the future of our communities and environment.
We establish goals for health and wellness and remove physical and psychological barriers to healthy habits.

The Vision2Succeed campaign will encourage residents and businesses to get involved in learning experiences and programs that help to propel career growth and lifelong learning. Across the county we have a strong system of schools, colleges and universities as well as training and job resource centers that benefit residents and employers. A vibrant economy benefits all San Bernardino County residents. The Vision2Succeed campaign is a resource, providing residents and businesses with information about:

Join a neighborhood watch group, learn how to prepare for emergencies, and follow professional safety tips to keep you and your family safe.

Vision2Read
Reading at grade level by third grade is one of the greatest predictors of children’s success in school, their likelihood of going to college, and their future earning potential. In support of the Countywide Vision and the Regional Goal of supporting every child from cradle to career, the Vision2Read initiative is a year-long campaign designed to
- Focus attention on the importance of reading;
- Highlight literacy-related programs and services throughout San Bernardino County; and
- Connect people to available literacy resources and/or volunteer opportunities.
Vision2Read invites all of San Bernardino County to join this effort and help “raise the bar” for literacy in our community and advance our efforts to achieve the Countywide Vision.

Water: Countywide Water Inventory
Countywide Water Inventory: A group made up of the county’s water agencies, business representatives and other stakeholders was formed to come up with solutions to challenges faced by our growing county as it strives to meet water needs.
The group determined that acting separately, the county would not have enough water through 2035, but when water agencies’ resources are combined, more than enough water exists to meet the needs of San Bernardino County residents and businesses through 2035. But that is only if water users step-up conservation efforts and the public and local government leaders are willing to invest in projects that will store and protect additional water supplies.
In December 2012, the Countywide Water Inventory was honored when it earned the 2012 Good Government Award from the Building Industry Association Baldy View Chapter.
Wellness: Community Vital Signs
Community Vital Signs: Community Vital Signs is a partnership between the community and the County that builds upon the Countywide Vision plan to establish a health improvement framework. The framework will encompasses policy, education, environment and systems change and improve upon the Wellness Element of the Countywide Vision process by analyzing the health of the region, identifying barriers to services, and establishing health priorities for the County. Its goal is to improve the health of all County residents and the well-being of the community. Community Vital Signs will use data analysis, priority health indicators and outcomes to provide a foundation for future planning.
