  1. Celebrating those doing the work every day is what it's all about. It was an honor to celebrate two FHSA members being recognized on the national stage yesterday during the NHSA annual conference for their exceptional achievements in making notable and significant contributions in our State to help improve the lives of at-risk children and families. Congratulations to Miami-Dade County Community Action and Human Services Department (CAHSD), in partnership with Reach Out and Read Florida, being awarded the Edward Zigler Innovation Award and Philip Tavill, President & CEO of Children First, Inc. in Sarasota, FL, for the Sargent Shriver Excellence in Community Service Award. The work in these programs is bar none, and we salute you!
