Nancy Williams has a great professional background to lead the Arizona Association for Foster and Adoptive Parents (AZAFAP). She has 30 years’ experience in education, a master’s degree in Special Education, and decades of working with students and families.

But all of that pales in light of her experience as a mom of eight children, an adoptive parent, and fostering 50 children over 26 years with her husband.

Nancy was one of the original founders of AZAFAP 20 years ago, serving the foster, kinship, and adoptive families who care for Arizona’s most vulnerable children. The board of directors are all volunteers, and all are foster, kinship and adoptive parents. The organization supports families in many ways, including giving away shoes, jackets, other clothing and supplies for families, and providing Family Camps for children and adults.

The Rescuers radio show provides an opportunity to spotlight people who are working behind the scenes to make this world a better place. These people serve as inspiration and idea starters to encourage others to find creative ways to impact their community, their city, and the world.

Host Art Brooks has spent his career in broadcasting, both as on-air talent and in representing the industry as president and CEO of the Arizona Broadcasters Association for nearly 30 years. He was the driving force behind an Emmy-winning series of documentaries on drug abuse that combined a phone bank of 100 seasoned counselors and history-making "roadblock," as every TV station in Arizona and many radio stations broadcast the groundbreaking show on the same day at the same time. He also was instrumental in starting AZ AMBER Alert (one of two states in the nation where broadcasters initiated the program), helped form the Native American Broadcast Institute at Northern Arizona University and consulted with broadcasters in Bulgaria to help build commercial radio as the country was coming out of communism.

Rescuers airs 5:30-6 p.m. AZ time Thursdays on KPXQ-AM Faith Talk 1360, beginning May 7, 2020. Based in Phoenix, it is available internationally online. We invite you to submit names of heroes you think would be good subjects for the show - just message us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/rescuersradioshow/
