Chaired by Susan Wells-Jenevein and Candace Winslow, the North Star Luncheoncoincides with April’s Child Abuse Prevision Month and will feature a personal and reflective conversation with former WFAA lead anchor Gloria Campos as she shares her perspective on the changes she observed in families in Dallas during her 40 years as a journalist, as well as a 20-year producer of WFAA’s Wednesday’s Child.  An event highlight will include the recognition of The Rosewood Foundation, a long-standing supporter of Family Compass’ mission to prevent child abuse and neglect.

“At Family Compass we know how to stop child abuse before it happens. For twenty-seven years we have provided these transformative services to more than 48,000 children and parents in North Texas. The families we serve would say we have been their ‘north star,’ guiding them to a brighter future,” remarked Ona Foster, Executive Director.  “For this year’s luncheon, we are thrilled to have the inimitable Gloria Campos as she provides her insights and inspiration to our guests, and we are truly honored to recognize The Rosewood Foundation for investing in our mission of promoting healthy families.”
