Annual Meeting 2016

At Child Protect, our fiscal year runs from October 1 - September 30. Every year at the end of September our board and staff get together for our Annual Meeting to recap the year, celebrate, and pass the gavel. This year we met at the Capital City Club for their lunch buffet and it was fantastic! Anita Carter passed the gavel to Les Massey, now serving as President. Other officers include Michelle Parks as President-Elect, Delbert Madison as Treasurer, and Amanda Hines as Secretary.

Leading up to our annual meeting, we accept recommendations for new members and reach out to those who may have previously expressed an interest in joining us. Our three members joining the board this year came highly recommended, and all had an opportunity to come for a tour and meet the staff in order to decide if our organization was a good fit for them.
For our Junior Board, this was our second year to host an after-hours Open House. We had approximately twenty attendees come and take tours with the staff, mingle with our current junior board members and ask any questions they may have had about our agency. This year we welcomed six new young professionals as our agency’s ambassadors. The Junior Board has already hosted their first event of the year, our Annual Halloween Party, and it was a huge success raising over $1,100!

We are excited to spend the next year working with these wonderful people and appreciate their willingness to devote their time, resources, and ideas to our organization. Child Protect is extremely blessed.

Check out our new members.
