Save the Date! This exciting annual event will be held on October 25, 2018, 11.30am-1.30pm, at Wilshire Baptist Church. It is designed to recognize those on the front lines of our homeless response system, case managers. These unsung heroes work hard every day to make homelessness rare, brief and nonrecurring, one person at a time. We are lucky to have them in our community.
We use a rigorous process, whereby case managers are nominated by their peers, supervisors, or clients, who must write a narrative addressing specific different aspects of the work of the case manager. The executive committee of the MDHA board of directors then scores each nominee, and the best man or woman wins.
This year, we will offer a limited number of sponsorship opportunities for this one-of-a-kind event. With 250-300 guests expected this year, this is a great opportunity to highlight your commitment, as an individual, a family or a company, to being part of the solution, when it comes to homelessness, in this, our home, Greater Dallas. Click through for more details about how you can become a sponsor.
While some luncheons feature a keynote speaker, our luncheon is a little different. Attendees get to hear two-three minute video testimonials of clients of our nominees, as they share what a difference these professionals made in their lives. It is extremely moving to see what a fabulous difference case managers make in the lives of real people, day in and day out. Warning: You may want to grab a tissue before clicking on the video; it is quite moving!
