Governor DeWine and First Lady honored with Child & Family Advocate Award

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and First Lady Fran DeWine have been honored with the Child & Family Advocate Life Award by the Public Children Services Association of Ohio (PCSAO).
The recognition was presented during the 2025 PCSAO Annual Conference in Columbus, a three-day gathering of more than 500 child protection professionals from across the state.
This year’s conference, themed “45 Years of Impact: Celebrating Progress and Innovation,” not only provided continuing education and networking opportunities but also spotlighted the dedication of youth, families, and county children’s services staff who have made a difference in their communities.
The award to the Governor and First Lady underscores their ongoing support for children’s services in Ohio and their role in advancing the well-being of families throughout the state.
