SDSVP Earns 2011 PAWS Partnership Award

Congratulations to SDSVP’s Outcome Planning Resource Team including Kimberly Cantlon, Sherri Neasham, Richard Bockoff, Juliet and Ken Davenport, Diane Branon and David Lynn! They have been awarded the 2011 PAWS Partnership Award in honor of their guidance and support during the creation of PAWS' five year Strategic Plan.

PAWS' Volunteer Executive Director, Lisa Lipsey notes, "SDSVP's expertise and gift of time and talent has proven invaluable to us during this critical growth period. From all of us at PAWS, we look forward to our continued partnership with Social Venture Partners. Things are really starting to take-off as we work to further develop our brand, streamline core service and engage collaborative partners. Together we can meet our greater vision of measurably improving the well-being of pets and the low-income elderly, disabled and chronically-ill people who love and need them. Thank you, thank you!"

The 2011 PAWS Partnership Award will be presented on Saturday, June 11th at PAWS' annual fundraiser, Fiesta del PAWS, a festive afternoon garden party.
