Congratulations to Sally Sloop!
The IDEA Infant and Toddler Coordinators Association (ITCA) presented their 2009 ITCA Regional Parent Leadership Award at the National Early Childhood Conference in Washington, DC on December 6th This year’s unanimous choice of the Awards Committee and the the Board of Directors was our very own Sally Sloop, who recently retired after many years at Family Support Network.
Many of you know Sally as the mother of Peter, who was diagnosed with autism at about age three. Sally has been incredibly effective at teaching all of us, based on what she learned through her personal experiences, about the importance of family support, the meaning of family-centered practice, and the realities, sometimes sad and sometimes hilarious, of living with disabilities.
This is a real honor for Sally, for Family Support Network, and for North Carolina - and so well-deserved!
Congratulations to Angela Macias!
The Leo M Croghan Memorial Foundation presented their 2009 Outstanding Contribution by a Parent or Volunteer Award at the Leo M Croghan on Developmental Disabilities in RTP, NC on December 7th. This year’s recipient was Angela Macias, Program Director of Family Support Network of the Greater Cape Fear Region.
Angela has two children, one of whom has special needs. She has worked tirelessly advocating for the needs of her son as well as many other children and families. She has been a member of the LICC, a parent co-chair for the RICC, and a member of the board of the Family Support Network of Greater Cape Fear Region.
She has also assisted the Cumberland County DSS Agency and the Cumberland County Foster Parent Association to arrange trainers for foster and adoptive parents caring for children with special needs.
Angela’s commitment to helping families with children who have special needs is steadfast, and she is most deserving of this award.
