Mr. Baxter has also served on the boards of a number of area non-profit organizations including: the Salvation Army, Villa of Hope, Rochester Rotary and Educational Support for Guard and Reserve Employers.
“We are proud to be presenting this award to Todd Baxter,” stated FSW President Peg Capuano “He has a distinguished career of service to the Greater Rochester community in a number of very important roles, and in each one, Mr. Baxter has helped to improve the quality of life for others.”
In response to being selected Baxter said, “I am humbled by the honor and appreciative of this recognition from the community.”
The upcoming luncheon recognizes human service professionals, volunteers, organizations and businesses for exceptional contributions of service to the community. Established by the Federation of Social Workers in 2005, the luncheon honors those whose tireless, inspirational and invaluable efforts to support people in need, often go unnoticed by the general public.
