CHRIS BRAY RECEIVES "FRIEND OF CHILDREN" AWARD

Julia Mohr of the Early Childhood Conference presenting award to Chris Bray

The 34th Annual Early Childhood Conference, Utah’s largest early care child care and education conference awards an outstanding early childhood professional each year to receive the Mary Olsen “Friend of Children” award. On March 14, 2008, at Utah Valley University, the conference committee recognized Mrs. Chris Bray, resident of North Salt Lake to receive this prestigious award. Chris is known for her ability to bring stakeholders back to what she calls the most important question, “What is best for the children?” She has used this question as measurement of success in her work at the Executive Director of Children’s Service Society, Program Director of Child Care Resource and Referral Metro, Executive Director of the Sharing Place and at Salt Lake Boys and Girls Club where she began her career working with school age children.

In front of an audience of 1200 of her peers, Chris Bray stated, “It is such an honor to be recognized by those in your field. Working in the child care field for over 22 years, the most important thing I have learned is that success doesn’t happen without collaboration. I am privileged to work with many amazing people who want to make a difference for children in Utah.”

Award Criteria: This award recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to Utah’s early childhood community through his or her many years of service as an advocate for children and quality programming. This award specifically recognizes the contributions awardees have made because of their vision for and public commitment to children.
