GREG ECHELE GUARDIAN SOCIETY

The Greg Echele Guardian Society recognizes individuals who contribute $1,000 or more to FamilyForward throughout the year. The name honors Greg Echele, Family Resource Center co-founder and 28-year Chief Executive Officer, who retired in 2016. We are proud to recognize Greg, who devoted his career to the prevention and treatment of child abuse, neglect, and family violence.

Honorary Chairperson: Christine Homan
