PLAN Board member, Harvey Kotler winner of Woodruff Foundation Award

Harvey Kotler is the recipient of the 2008 Emerging Volunteer Leader award from the prestigious Woodruff Foundation.  Harvey Kotler is a Vice President, Board of Trustees, PLAN of NE Ohio, and Board Member, Hopewell and Jewish Family Service Association.

In a separate Outstanding Organization Catagory, PLAN of Northeast Ohio was recognized as a finalist for the Organizational prize.  PLAN consistently excels in delivering exceptional solutions and innovative programs that assist those living with mental illness progress in their recovery.  The road to recovery has no map but there is a PLAN.

The Woodruff Foundation was established in 1986 to enhance, through financial support, the development and delivery of mental health services.  In addition to their traditional grant making, the Trustees of the Woodruff Foundation have sought to recognize and honor those organizations and individuals doing superior work in the mental health and/or chemical dependency fields.

From this objective, the Woodruff Prize Awards were established in 1989.  Each year one nonprofit organization in Cuyahoga County, Ohio and one individual, either a professional or a volunteer, are awarded the Woodruff Prizes, each with a prize of $10,000.
