ACHIEVE is pleased to announce that Board President, Denis Wickham, has received a 2011 NonProfit Award for Board Leadership. Mr. Wickham has served on the ACHIEVE Board of Directors for 15 years, and in 2010, during difficult economic times, led the agency in generating significant increases in the areas of membership, media exposure to promote community awareness, corporate sponsorships of agency events, and annual appeal funds.
ACHIEVE is also pleased to announce that Board Member, James Hayes, has received a 2011 NonProfit Award for Career Achievement. Mr. Hayes has served on the ACHIEVE Board of Directors for 40 years, first joining the board in 1971 to work for more and better educational and day-program services for his son and others who have an intellectual or other developmental disability.
Sandy Haruk, Vice President Operations and Amy Howard, Vice President Program Planning and Development, accepted the awards on behalf of Mr. Wickham and Mr. Hayes at The Central Region Business Journal NonProfit Awards Luncheon in Syracuse on Monday, March 28, 2011. The NonProfit Awards celebrate the exceptional work done in our community by the vast number of nonprofit groups in Central New York, the Mohawk Valley Region, and Greater Binghamton.
ACHIEVE is the largest and most comprehensive voluntary provider of services to individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities in Broome and Tioga Counties. The mission of ACHIEVE is to provide leadership, advocacy and opportunities which enable persons with intellectual and other developmental disabilities and their families to enhance the quality of their lives.
