Celebrating the wins reminds us of how far we've come.
The Celebration of Human Services is a great way to connect with community leaders and other professionals while enjoying inspiring and uplifting presentations. The annual event will feature The Honorable Marcia L. Fudge, W.T. McCullough keynote speaker, and the winners of our legacy awards.
We received dozens of nominations for two of our community awards, the High 5 Award, which recognizes the invaluable contribution of volunteers and new to the field employees working or serving in Cuyahoga County health and social service organizations, and the $25,000 Anisfield-Wolf Memorial Award for outstanding service by a community organization. Winners will be announced on Friday, November 20!
