Greeting From UCF CARD
UCF CARD is now open
for business! We appreciate your patience as we set up the office, learn
about our constituents, and begin to serve you.
The office is currently
staffed by two full-time family support specialists, Terri Daly and Marilee
Emerson, and a full-time officer manager, Irene Mazloom. Dr. Chad
Nye oversees the Center operation and coordinates activities on a part-time
basis. We are happy to have found talented and committed professionals
to serve the Central Florida area. We'll tell you more about these
individuals in upcoming issues.
We now have over 200 constituents on our
registry. However, some of our
|
information is not complete or
current. If you would like to contact us to check whether we
have the correct information for you family, please call Irene at 407-823-2176.
We would also appreciate updated pictures of the constituents (small enough
to fit in the box at the center column).
Although we have a large number of constituents
on our registry, we know we are missing many of the eligible individuals
in the area. Without being in the registry, we are unable to
provide these constituents with newsletters, information about upcoming
trainings and conferences, and individualized support. Please share
the newsletter with others who may be interested in taking advantage of
CARD's offerings. We will also be creating a professional registry,
so let your child's educators know they can register too. |
