Title
2018 Second Quarter Employee of the Quarter Award-Anne Chapman, Child Victim Services Coordinator
Abstract
Action Requested: Award the Employee of the Quarter Award to Anne Chapman, Child Victim Services Coordinator
Introduction & Background: Since her hire in March 2017, Anne Chapman has worked on behalf of child victims of serious crimes. She helps them navigate the court system, connect them to services like counseling and make sure they know the resources that exist to help with whatever needs they have. She also provides transportation to court or therapy as needed and interprets for Spanish speaking clients and their families. She works closely with other court related functions such as the district attorney’s office, family visitation services, and law enforcement.
I would like to nominate her for Employee of the Quarter because of the exceptional job she has done to reinitiate, revamp and deliver the sexual abuse prevention curriculum for fourth graders. This program has not been delivered consistently in years past, and Anne started to work almost immediately after her hire to build relationships with school staff and deliver a program that was well received and age appropriate. Every fourth grade student in the Chatham County school system now has valuable information about themselves, appropriate behavior and what to do if they feel uncomfortable. Anne also does follow up with any children who have questions or issues that come up around the topics they cover in the curriculum.
Anne’s service to children and their families is exceptional and comprehensive. We are extremely fortunate to have someone of her caliber and commitment working with the children of Chatham County.
