Wisconsin Forms Worker Association
May 25, 2006
A new state professional association for direct-care workers, the Wisconsin Association for Caregiver Excellence (WACE), was launched this month.
According to a news release from the organization, its main focus will be worker education. 'We're taking a university approach to this,' said Jackie Hauser, the chair of the WACE board of directors. 'The technical and clinical skills will be taught, of course, but we'll also offer education in career development, leadership skills, work-place interactions, and employer-employee relations. These are professional care givers, and they deserve support that reflects their importance to Wisconsin. We intend WACE to become the focal point of that support.'
The association is currently seeking an executive director.
