Having an academic background, he approached Sheer <br /> Associates to determine if an independent child welfare institute <br /> could successfully survive and what tools and expressions would be <br /> required to ensure its success. <br /> Through our exploration, it became clear that this was an important <br /> assignment. CWI was needed because state and local government <br /> agencies, as well as private child welfare agencies, face monumental <br /> challenges in administering systems that assure safety, permanence <br /> and well-being for children. <br /> CWI quickly grew and moved to Atlanta, Georgia and became the <br /> nation's leading provider of child welfare training and organizational <br /> development, which they offer to state, local and private agencies <br /> throughout the United States and Canada. Sheer Associates <br /> developed, consulted and produced the central identity for CWI <br /> including its corporate, promotional and training materials.

In addition, Sheer has helped with membership <br /> retention and expansion through planning, advertising, collateral <br /> development and direct marketing. The Educational Foundation <br /> enjoys the distinction of being one of the most successful fund-raising <br /> university foundations in the United States. <br /> Home Health Agency/Foundation - When Joel Sheer was appointed <br /> to the Board of Directors in 1995, the Home Health Agency had over <br /> 430 employees.
