CWRTP trainer wins CYtation award

Congratulations to CWRTP trainer Martha Stewart, who received an ISU CYtation award this month for her exemplary service to the university. Among her many accomplishments for the past year was the Connections Equal Collections (CEC) training program, which she delivered to Iowa Child Support Recovery Unit staff throughout the state. CEC offers psychology-based instruction on developing constructive relationships with non-custodial parents, in order to improve child support collections.

Martha has been with CWRTP since 2003. According to CWRTP supervisor Kate Goudy-Haht, "Martha takes great pride in the training she creates. She will not say it is complete until she is fully satisfied it will meet the expectations of her audience. She is sincerely dedicated to her work, offers unconditional support to her co-workers, and is a true asset to the Child Welfare Research & Training Project.”
