NACAC Awards

2008 Award Winners

Join us at the NACAC conference in the Westin Ottawa Confederation Ballroom at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 2 as we honor NACAC’s 2008 award winners at a special luncheon. The luncheon is included in all full and Saturday conference registrations.

To honor special individuals, groups, and organizations who have contributed their service to promote adoption and improve child welfare, NACAC holds an annual awards ceremony. This year’s winners have spent many years providing invaluable service and support to children and families, and we look forward to publicly acknowledging their dedication and commitment.
