C. Warren “Pete” Moses, who recently retired as the CEO of The Children’s Aid Society, has won the Chauncey Alexander Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Network of Social Work Managers. The award will be presented at a ceremony on April 29 at Fordham University’s Graduate School of Social Service on its Lincoln Center Campus on the west side of Manhattan.In his nominating letter, CAS’ current President and CEO, Richard R. Buery, Jr., called Moses “the paragon of social work virtues embodied by Chauncey A. Alexander,” and cited Pete’s highest goal – improving the lives children in need – in his nominating letter. He also pointed to Moses’ deft deployment of the skilled social work staff of Children’s Aid through innovations such as The Children’s Aid Society’s community schools, and his own commitment to the ongoing professional development of social workers on his staff. The Chauncey Alexander Lifetime Achievement Award was established in 1989 to honor the career of chosen social work managers.

I am very grateful and humbled.” |
