2008 Palmer Davies Leadership Award

UCFS selects Deb Monahan, Executive Director of TVCCA as the recipient of the 2008 Palmer Davies Leadership Award.

UCFS (United Community & Family Services) will recognize Deb Monahan as the 3rd Annual Palmer Davies Leadership Award Recipient at their Annual Meeting, October 23rd at 5:00 pm to be held at the Alumni Center at the Coast Guard Academy.

More than 100 years ago, Mrs. Fannie Palmer and Mrs. Emily Davies walked across the Norwichtown Green one afternoon and discussed the development of an association that would relieve all forms of suffering. Their idea was the foundation for what is today, United Community & Family Services. Two years ago, UCFS created an award to recognize individuals in the community who have fostered an environment of community spirit and understanding that reflects the mission and organization's values, much in the same way that Palmer and Davies first envisioned their idea more than a century ago.

Bev Goulet, 2007 Palmer Davies Leadership recipient who is on the nominating committee stated: "Deb Monahan clearly reflects the mission & values of UCFS, Since Deb began her career in 1974, she has contributed immeasurably to her community, region and State. She is indeed an exceptional leader and advocate and admired and highly respected by her colleagues."
