New Shelter supervisor announced at Parkersburg

Tuesday, June 16th, Denise Hughes will assume the leadership position at the Arthur N. Gustke Shelter in Parkersburg for CHS. Denise has been a social worker at the shelter since 1996, some of that time in a relief capacity, as she took her primary role as the mother of quadruplets in those "early years." She has been a valuable resource to the agency at large, also, with her skills in assessment instruments and tools (and the Comprehensive Assessment Process), and her training and quality review support to the agency's Quality Unit. Denise is a very devoted employee to the mission of the agency. She has supported the shelter administration through several transitions and changes, such as the move to the new Gustke Shelter in 2004. With Shelley Plauche assuming the site director position, with her previous experience at the shelter, this will make a strong team for the shelter into the future. Other key staff are well experienced and in strong position to continue their quality work with our shelter population.
