Mr. Howard Boozer

The Ann Storck Center is pleased to announce that our very own Associate Director, Mr. Howard Boozer, has received the prestigious Michael Goodman Award for his outstanding leadership and long-standing commitment to service for people with developmental disabilities from the Florida Association of Rehabilitation Facilities at their Annual Awards Luncheon in Orlando, Florida on October 3, 2002.

Mr. Boozer has demonstrated exceptional diligence and expertise in areas of System Design and Quality Assurance.  His Quality Assurance System has been recognized as exceptional by accreditation and other survey teams.  In fact, people have come from across the nation to speak with Mr. Boozer in an attempt to replicate the Center's multi-tiered Quality Assurance System within their own organizations.  Howard is also involved in the community through the Broward Alliance for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities.  He has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to the recognition of the incredible work of the Center's, and other facilities, direct care and direct support workers.  In this regard, Mr. Boozer has been responsible for, or contributed to, an annual conference dedicated for direct support staff in Broward County for over a decade.  The Center either has been the host or has significantly supported this event since its inception.  Mr. Boozer continues to be a catalyst of this exceptional learning and networking opportunity for perhaps the most important people in the industry.   

Mr. Boozer is a mentor to the managers with whom he works, an advocate for the over 300 children and adults he serves, and is tenacious and preservative about the exceptional standards for the Center's Program Service Delivery System.  Congratulations to Mr. Boozer!  He is an essential part of our family and we look forward to his future contributions and accomplishments on behalf of those he serves.
