NAWRS is a non-profit association whose purpose is to promote
the exchange of ideas on how research and statistical
analysis can contribute to the development and
administration of effective human
services programs.
There are many different approaches to alleviating poverty, each reflecting a nuanced understanding of the nature of the problem, the possible and best solutions, and the appropriate use of resources. Although human service programs have a common goal, to build up the lives and communities of those they serve, sometimes it is hard to see how the different frameworks overlap and to know how to apply research or lessons learned from a different but related area. There is value in reaching across lines to learn from and build on each other’s work, in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of all our efforts.

He continued to work on NAWRS behind the scenes until cancer took him from us in 2016. We are so grateful to have known this warm, selfless, charismatic dynamo with a boundless heart for the less fortunate.
We hope you enjoy this heart-warming tribute to Michael. Friends and colleagues shared some of their favorite memories during an informal gathering to honor him at the NAWRS 2017 Workshop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
