Commissioner Ohl to Address Adoption-Homefinding
Meeting in West Virginia
Joan E. Ohl, Commissioner, Administration on Children, Youth and Families, will speak at the Statewide Adoption-Homefinding meeting in Shepherstown, West Virginia this August 27. The event is being hosted by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources.
From 1997 to 2001, Mrs. Ohl was West Virginia's Secretary of Health and Human Resources, a 5,300-employee agency. Mrs. Ohl emphasized effective and efficient programs, fiscal accountability and personnel development.
In a letter of invitation to Mrs. Ohl, Judith A. See-Gilmore, Region III Adoption Supervisor, wrote that “you were always supportive of our program and we would be honored if you could find the time in your busy schedule to address our group. We would be particularly interested in what is transpiring on the federal level."
About 70 participants are expected to attend the event, including managers, state adoption and homefinding staff and state office personnel.
