Board Spotlight!
Please Join us in Welcoming AMY BURK to the CAPE Council!
Amy Burk is the Executive Director of Communities In Schools (CIS) of Northwest Michigan. A CIS team member from the very beginning, Amy has nurtured the growth of CIS Northwest Michigan for 25 years and counting. As a passionate advocate for children, Amy is inspired every day by the opportunity to help children feel supported, believe in themselves, and thrive. Amy appreciates the opportunity to share about how a caring adult can have a positive impact on a child's life. She ties this back to the Protective Factor: Social Connections! Amy would be happy to share about this subject with you! |
FUN FACT: Amy was recently selected as an Influential Women of Northern Michigan in an annual commemorative publication produced by the Traverse City Record-Eagle that celebrates community-impacting women and rising stars across the region. |
Outside of work, Amy loves spending time with her close-knit family, enjoying lake life, and staying healthy and strong.
We would like to thank Trooper Corey Hebner
Corey has served on the CAPE Board for many years and his dedication to the safety of children is evident in all he does!
He will continue to serve the community through Advocacy in Child Passenger Safety and through Michigan's Student Safety Program, Okay2Say!
Thank you for sharing so much of yourself all these years Corey.

OUR STORYThe Child Abuse Prevention & Education Council of Antrim, Charlevoix and Emmet Counties was founded in 1982 with the original name the Northwest Michigan Council for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect or NWMCPCAN. The name officially changed in 2001 to the Child Abuse Council of Charlevoix and Emmet Counties and again in 2016 to include Prevention and Education. In 2023 we updated our name to include Antrim County. What has remained consistent through our existence is the Council’s commitment and dedication to our mission of prevention of child abuse and neglect through increased public awareness, community collaboration, and education. The CAPE Council is a Children Trust Michigan Designated Council. Children Trust Michigan (CTM) is a statewide, non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of abuse and neglect. The CTM works in partnership with the local councils that serve Michigan’s 83 counties. Local councils are independent, community-based organizations that identify needs and facilitate collaborative prevention programs for children and families in their communities. In addition to funding from CTM, we also are supported by our donors, businesses, community foundations, churches, and service organizations help the Child Abuse Council to provide thousands of pieces of parenting, prevention, reporting, and child development materials for distribution throughout our tri-county area. We appreciate your contributions, and we are stronger together! |
