Jerry
Lindskog Award: In Search of Excellence
The
Jerry Lindskog Award is awarded annually to outstanding performance
by a Minnesota resident in the human service field. It was originated
as a tribute to Jerry Lindskog and his commitment to family based
services. Jerry has been involved with family service since its conception
and as served as the human service liaison between the state department
of human services and the Minnesota Family Based Service Association.
When family based workers speak of "strength based" work
with families they speak the voice of Jerry. Jerry is noble man and
the Jerry Lindskog Award is a noble award.
