The Defiance
County Board of Commissioners is seeking applications of persons interested in
being appointed to the Northwest Ohio Regional Child Abuse and Child Neglect
Prevention Council. The Northwest Ohio Regional Child Abuse and Child Neglect
Prevention Council’s purpose is to address child abuse and child neglect
prevention services through a process of identifying needs, determining
strategies to address those needs. The Northwest Ohio Regional Child Abuse and
Child Neglect Prevention Council is directed by Mercy Health.
The Commissioners are seeking two individuals to provide various areas of
expertise, depending on their professional or personal background. The
representatives are expected to possess a holistic awareness and understanding
of local child abuse and child neglect prevention efforts including, but not
limited to, the local providers/vendors who are implementing prevention
programs and services, where gaps exist in prevention program/service
provision, and where funds for prevention programs and services can be
effectively leveraged.
The individuals would be appointed to a volunteer, unpaid position with a two-year
term, may be re-appointed, but may only serve for two consecutive terms.
