Director of the Westchester County Office for Women Robi Schlaff is being recognized with a Community Partner Award at WestCOP’s annual Winter Blue Carpet Mixer. WestCOP, which is a Community Partner of Westchester County Government, is an integral companion in the county’s delivery of support to victims of family violence. The organization seeks to help low-income and at-risk populations achieve greater self-sufficiency, and its Victims Assistance Services offers assistance to victims of all crimes.
Westchester County Executive George Latimer said: “We are very proud of our Office for Women, specifically our Director Robi Schlaff, for paving the way for other departments across New York state and the country. Robi is absolutely deserving of this prestigious award, for working together with WestCOP and other community partners to assist victims of crimes. She is committed to combating domestic violence and improving the lives of women and families throughout Westchester.”
Schlaff said, “It is an honor to be recognized among colleagues who exemplify that by working together, we can accomplish great things for women and families in Westchester. It is these partnerships and collaborations that allow us to provide services that people truly need more efficiently and effectively throughout the county.”
