OF
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
In the Matter of Honoring
ELIZABETH SHAW RESOLUTION NO. 91/270
Elizabeth Shaw has been the Executive Director of New Connections,
a center for drug education Programs, counseling, and treatment,
for the past nine and one-half years. Liz ' s leadership has allowed
New Connections to flourish. Without her innovation, dedication,
and determination, New Connections would not be able to offer the
quality services and programs it has available today. She has a
true compassion for the people she serves and the ability to help
them get their lives back on track.
Since December of 1990, she and her husband have adopted a baby boy
and her husband has started a new job in Palo Alto. We are
extremely happy for Liz and her husband, but unfortunately, due to
these changes in her personal life, she is leaving New Connections.
We will sincerely miss her influence in the fight against drug and
alcohol abuse here in Contra Costa County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors honors
ELIZABETH SHAW for her years of service to New Connections and
wishes her happiness and success with her family and with her
future career pursuits. Contra Costa is not only losing a true
advocate of the drug-free lifestyle but a good friend as well.
PASSED AND ADOPTED ON May 7, 1991 , by a unanimous vote of the Board
members present.
