2/15/13 - LACASAâs Child Abuse Prevention Council and the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce are looking for local employers who understand the importance of family. The two organizations team up every year to present the Family Friendly Award to an employer that goes out of its way to accommodate the needs of its employeesâ families. Nominees should provide unique programs or benefits that are especially helpful to employees with families, support their employees during times of family crisis, and create a work environment that encourages employees to focus on family needs. Winners in the past have also included employers who made significant one-time efforts to help an employee through a difficult period. The CAP Council says it is important to recognize the efforts of local employers to promote family welfare because strong families encourage safe and healthy communities. The deadline for nominations is Wednesday, February 20th. The award will be presented at the State of the Chamber Luncheon on February 28th. (TD)
