11th Annual Women of Achievement Awards Thursday, October 3, 2013 DePaul Community Resources is pleased to announce that the 11th Annual Women of Achievement Awards will take place on Thursday, October 3, 2013 at the Sheraton Roanoke Hotel and Conference Center. The Women of Achievement Awards serve as a way to recognize women who have made significant contributions to our community through their educational achievements, leadership and volunteer activities. Nominees for this event come from diverse segments of our community, but they share a dedication and commitment to improving the quality of life for all of us. DePaul Community Resources will honor women for their achievements in twelve categories: Arts Business Education Equality Foster Parenting Government / Politics Health / Science Human Relations Law Religion Social Services Volunteerism About DePaul Community Resources DePaul Community Resources is dedicated to transforming the lives of children, adults and families with special needs. We are a non-profit, independent, human services organization that was incorporated in 1977. We began by sponsoring a Treatment Foster Care program to provide a supportive family environment for children with special needs. Since that time, the organization has continued to evolve in response to the changing needs of the community, children, youth and families. The Developmental Disabilities program was added in 1991 as a natural extension of our experience in serving individuals with developmental disabilities. In 2002, an Adoption Program was implemented in response to the increased emphasis on adoption from the foster care system for children with special needs. Our programs are integrated, flexible and family-centered. We accept referrals from local Departments of Social Services, Community Services Boards, Juvenile Courts, State Training Centers and birth or adoptive parents. Our main office in Roanoke and branch offices in Abingdon, Amelia, Cedar Bluff, Charlottesville, Christiansburg, Danville, Harrisonburg, Lynchburg and Waynesboro serve the communities of Central and Western Virginia. Currently, we provide services to more than 500 children, adults and families through these offices. Through our programs, Treatment Foster Care, Developmental Disabilities and Adoption, DePaul has been providing the highest quality of care to the individuals and families we serve. DePaul Community Resources has been making a positive difference in Central and Western Virginia for more than 36 years.
