2011 Arc Angel Gala
The 2011 Arc Angel Gala is scheduled for Friday, November 18 at Fiddler's Elbow Country Club in Far Hills, NJ.
We proudly announce The Elizabeth M. Boggs Center on Developmental Disabilities as our Arc Angel honoree this year. The Elizabeth M. Boggs Center on Developmental Disabilities is New Jersey’s federally designated University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service. Since its inception in 1983, The Center has emphasized a community based, life span approach to meeting the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.
Accepting the award on behalf of The Elizabeth M. Boggs Center is Dr. Deborah M. Spitalnik, the center’s founding Executive Director. Recently appointed to the President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities, Dr. Spitalnik chairs the NJ Medical Assistance Advisory Council, the national Council on Quality and Leadership, previously served as a member and chair of PCPID, and is past president of the Association of University Centers on Disabilities. Serving on numerous committees both in New Jersey and nationally, she provides extensive consultation to families, policy makers, state agencies, and service providers.
It is also our pleasure to announce the return of the Director of the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Honorable Jack M. Ciattarelli, as emcee for the fourth consecutive year. Freeholder Ciattarelli’s demonstrated support of individuals with disabilities continues to benefit all citizens of the county.
