The
2011 Education and Business Summit was a wonderful professional
development for all that attended.
The Special Needs Division was honored to have wonderful
speakers that offered much information and motivation.
On Tuesday, June 28th,
our Division Day, we had the Victory Program from Richland
One, leaders Patricia Bundy and Paige Griffin
came and shared the positive work they are doing with Special
Needs students 18-21 years old.
Also, highlighted was the Richland One Works (ROW)
program and their helping students transition to the world of
work and being successful employees in the community.
In
the afternoon, we were treated to “Stressed/Desserts” with Alyce
Kemp-DeWitt. She
brought her baby Zoe with her.
We laughed, cried and shared together.
Ms. Dewitt is such a delight to hear and how she overcame
multiple tragedies in her life and found “desserts” each day. She
has been able to share with others and help them through her many
years at the SC Mental Health Department and speaking engagements
for associations, churches and civic meetings.
