NPO: Rita Fuerst Adams Departs as National Executive Director

Story here. Excerpt:

'As National Parents Organization announces the resignation of its National Executive Director Rita Fuerst Adams, I would like to extend my gratitude to her for the many ways in which she helped advance our organizational mission. During Fuerst Adams’ time as National Executive Director, she has played a critical role in our efforts to improve the lives of children by protecting their right to the love and care of both parents and advocating for shared parenting and parental equality in our family courts.

Having joined our cause as National Executive Director in 2012, Rita has been a champion of children’s rights and parental equality in all that she has done for our cause. Whether managing the administrative demands and functions necessary to the job or growing our strong volunteer and membership base, she has been integral to our success during her tenure.

In her three years of service, Rita has led National Parents Organization through multiple, significant projects, including a national rebranding effort; expanding the number of state affiliates; the execution of major campaigns that have included the creation of the recently released inaugural Shared Parenting Report Card, which caught the attention of media across the nation; and our introducing Shared Parenting in Temporary Custody Orders.'
