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.
