Those participating in the second cohort are from across the country (Angela Braxton, TX; Angelique Brown, VA; Robbie Callis, TX; Angela Campbell, PA; Robin Chapolini, PA; Rochelle Frankling, CA; Maryn Formley, PA; Devon Gilchrist, MN; Kimberley Johnson, CA; Victoria Lynch, PA; Denorra Carter-Murray, PA; Eshawn-Fonta Peterson, AZ; Florence Racine, NJ; Matthew Stewart, AZ) and we are excited for the same.

About Black Administrators in Child Welfare

The Black Administrators in Child Welfare, Inc. (BACW) is a group formed in 1971and incorporated in New York in 1975 to address the reluctance of child welfare agencies to respond appropriately to the need for specialized services for Black children and their families and to press for the employment of Black professionals in responsible administrative positions. The organization also serves as a support network for the small number of Black executives running child welfare and human service agencies.
