My first experience with Child and Family Resources was as a professional. I am a pediatric physical therapist and I worked in early intervention with staff from CFR. I was very impressed with the expertise, care and support that they gave to children and their families. When I retired and was looking for a place where I could make a contribution, a board member asked me if I would be interested in joining the board of CFR.
Since becoming a board member, I have been impressed with the professionalism, expertise and organization of the program management. The great work that is so obvious when working with the staff is a reflection of the great work done by the administrative personnel and in many programs within the CFR umbrella. I have learned about many more programs than just early intervention, include work with teachers to help them deal with special needs children, programs to work with teenage mothers and programs to work within the community.
This is a great organization and I am proud to be a part of it.

Child and Family Resources is a truly special nonprofit. Under the strong and steady leadership of its CEO Eric Schindler and his leadership team, CFR continues to provide extraordinary service to all its clients and partners on a daily basis, across all service areas and across the state; maintains a workplace that truly honors its employees' skills, talents, interests and needs, and is therefore a great place to work; focuses resources effectively to meet and exceed expectations; engages in a continual process of self-evaluation and improvement... I could go on and on. On a personal note, I have now served on the Board for two years, and it is a true joy. I have served on several boards over the years, but never before have I felt such a sense of ownership and pride in the organization I've served. I am thrilled to share my knowledge of CFR with the community, I'm always impressed with what I learn from staff, and I am honored to be on a board with such amazing colleagues from various disciplines and life experiences. CFR truly is a special place.
