Awarded by the Illinois Association of Community Action Agencies in collaboration with the University of Illinois, Springfield, the certification marks a significant achievement in their careers. Roth, the Director of Community Services and Public Relations, and Birt, a Community Services Outreach Worker, completed demanding coursework to enhance their ability to support economically disadvantaged communities effectively.

Roth and Birt’s dedication to creating a trauma-informed and non-judgmental service environment sets a high standard for community action across Illinois.
