shape the future of Weld County as our workforce, leaders, neighbors and community
members; and
WHEREAS, strengthening, educating and supporting families is the most effective way to
prevent child abuse and neglect, ensuring the opportunity for children to develop in healthy,
trusting families, schools and neighborhoods.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED, by the Board of Weld County Commissioners on
this 7 day of April, 2021, that the month of April be Child Abuse Prevention Month. We

within their communities to ensure they are strong and thriving.
