Timothy E. Kuster Memorial Award
"For Excellence in Ohio Child & Youth Care"
If you knew Timothy E. Kuster, you knew an individual committed to children and to the professionals that work with them. Tim believed that Child & Youth Care Workers were special, and performed a unique service for children and youth in need of out-of-home care and treatment.
Each year, the Ohio Association of Child & Youth Care Professionals, Inc.'s Board of Directors recognizes a member who has demonstrated the same qualities as those of the Association's late past-president, Timothy E. Kuster. These qualities include a commitment to the field of child and youth care, a demonstrated theoretical knowledge in child care, and excellent professional child care skills.
This award is presented during the Association's Annual Conference held in late January or early February.
