Berea Children’s Home and Family Services Retains Prestigious EAGLE accreditation

Berea Children’s Home and Family Services is proud to announce that we have retained the distinct honor of the prestigious EAGLE (Educational Assessment Guidelines Leading toward Excellence) accreditation through the United Methodist Association.

The United Methodist Association serves more than 380 health and human service organizations and professionals nationwide, offering all of its members many opportunities for networking and continuing education. They extend EAGLE Accreditation, the only faith based accreditation process, to premier organizations who frequently assess the effectiveness of their services and commit to making ongoing improvements so that they can continuously provide the highest quality of services to the community. Our EAGLE accreditation is effective through July 2015 and we will be assessed yearly to ensure that we continue to meet or exceed EAGLE standards and goals.

Berea Children’s Home and Family Services is invited to attend the United Methodist Association’s 71st Annual National Convention in San Antonio, Texas where we will receive special recognition for achieving this accreditation. The formal presentation will be held during the Convention’s honoree luncheon on March 3, 2011.

“Earning EAGLE accreditation is a difficult task,” says Steve Vinson, President and CEO, United Methodist Association. “Berea Children’s Home and Family Services has demonstrated the highest level of excellence and professionalism in a world that too often seeks shortcuts. They are a premier member of the UMA family and it is an honor to recognize once again their commitment to excellence.”
