Awards Luncheon ~ Celebrating Amazing Parents in Our Community
Honoring five outstanding parents in our community who demonstrate strong leadership, parent involvement and support for their children.
We need each of you to help our Council to reach these goals. You can help by scheduling a mandated reporter training for your staff, asking for a Shaken Baby presentation, filling out our needs assessment when asked, nominating a Champion in your community, and attending our community events. Protecting our children is the job and responsibility of each of us. Increasing awareness and educating ourselves is one very important aspect of this responsibility. The CAPC looks forward to leading the way with you.
Our strategic plan will address three important areas this year. The first focus area will be community education and training. Our goal will be to engage our community in education on safe practices for raising children, and provide opportunities to learn more about topics that impact child health and safety. We will be offering trainings to those professionals that work on a daily basis with our most precious commodity, our children. Our second focus area will continue to recognize the strong and positive leaders through our annual Champions for Children recognition event. Our third focus will help us to know what our community needs are through the collection of data through a needs assessment.
