Child and Family Services Names New Award After Exemplary Western New Yorker

At the recent Child and Family Services Celebration of Friends event, Chief Development Officer Susan Siwiec had no idea she'd be taking the stage.  She was pleasantly surprised when she found out a new award was being named after her.

Siwiec is moving on after 13 years of hard work and dedication at Child and Family Services.  The organization felt this was a fine way to honor her services.The Susan T. Siewec Distinguished Donor Award

"Everyone who knows Susan knows that she is a vibrant, energetic woman," said board member Kevin O'Leary in his presentation speech.  "Her passion for our agency and its’ mission is evident to each person she meets"

Siewec created the agency's Development Department from the ground up and has worked to develop it ever since.  O'Leary praised Siwiec's ability to establish and maintain relationships with individual and corporate donors in Western New York and beyond. 

The West Herr Auto Group is honored to be the first recipient of the Susan T. Siwiec Distinguished Donor Award.  Vice President Bill Loecher, also a new Child and Family Services board member, was there to accept.

"West Herr stepped up to the plate and provided additional gifts and food for families, ensuring that each and every person received a gift to open this past Christmas day," O'Leary said. 

As members of the Western New York community, we thank Susan Siwiec for all her hard work and the Child and Family Services for their award.
