My Nonprofit Reviews

How do you convey the true meaning and the stellar work of a volunteer organization accomplishing so much good for so many, spanning 28 years?
Having been associated with the CUE Center for Missing Persons -
Community United Effort as a Coordinator for several years I think of the heart touching moments, the dedication, the commitment to the mission, the family support, the ‘going the extra mile’ that you may not receive elsewhere.

Having support and expertise for the long haul” (sometimes years of waiting) is so important that CUE becomes a surrogate family to those in need… Who then in turn may heed the call to help others as a way to further their own healing. In this
Way , the CUE family grows and ‘comes full circle

The Annual Conference is a blend of some of the best elements CUE offers regarding educational seminars by Founder, Monica Caison and experts in their respective fields, creating a sense of reunion for returning members, and welcoming new members, the opportunity for volunteerism at all age levels, support, advocacy, entertainment, hope, companionship,inspirational family stories,food, a special candlelight vigil by the river an awards ceremony and more.
Refer to this, one of my favorite former blogs I authored from a 2017 Conference that captures the essence of it all.

The road for a missing person and/or homicide family is filled with challenges and obstacles. However, with the CUE Center by your side, it is a path of acceptance, caring, support and love from others who have lived the journey.

As a long time State Outreach Coordinator for the CUE Center for Missing Persons, I have seen this organization evolve into a very impriesive non-profit.. Their individual and team skills and unique focus/specialization in fulfilling an urgent need for missing persons, (primarily adults and unsolved homicides) is unmatched when compared to other non-profits. They are small enough to continue to serve individual families- customized to their needs and also impart knowledge and insight that only comes with years of experience! Much credit should be given to Founder Monica Caison , in that she has continued to find ways to serve missing persons families during this unrelenting pandemic. Although there are many challenges and responsibilities, Monica and her staff are not deterred and are performing their vital roles as best they can.

To capture the essence of Monica Caison and the CUE Center for the Missing in a paragraph is difficult indeed. As a homicide survivor and crime victim advocate working with victims for over 30 years, I have never seen a more unique and effective organization! The CUE was introduced to me by colleagues nearly four years ago. Once I attended a Conference I was attracted like a magnet to their mission, sense of caring, compassion, ability to achieve results purely on donations. However, the most impressive aspects are Monica's innate sense to put the needs of families first, with respect and honesty. to devise a customized , strategic plan based upon their individual circumstances. to always instill a sense of hope no what has occurred and her ability to earn the cooperation and respect of law enforcement and other professionals throughout the country. Her tenacity and "turn over every rock" nature has served her well for the past 20 years. She has entrusted her mission to hand picked state coordinators in several states. We try to carry the torch in our individual was . I am proud to be a Coordinator for the State of Connecticut. To serve others in need is an honor.
