Dear Christopher,

Your nomination letter was a joy to read! Every good quality one would hope for in an employee was attributed to you, and then some. As a Home Life Coordinator and Program Specialist, you are highly creative, innovative, passionate and determined when it comes to supporting Michael and Barney to have a rich and stimulating environment in which to live and grow. Painting murals, developing a sensory room, sharing your musical talents, seeking solutions and innovative approaches are just some of the ways that you have enhanced the men's lives and enriched their social capital.

But your talent and passion don't stop there. You are also a Leadership Development Team member and have brought to the Professional Development and Human Resources Departments your considerable skills as a Program Specialist by assisting in the development and teaching of a curriculum for training program specialists. Since joining the team, you also teach many of the pre service courses to Direct Support Professionals. Your quick support and contagiously positive attitude allow you to teach with an openness that helps them not only to learn the skill you are teaching, but to also embrace the commitment to quality service that they need to have to be successful.

You are one of those win-win people where success breeds success. And now you are enjoying a promotion to supervisor in Residential Services.

So on behalf of the Board of Directors, your fellow employees and Barney and Michael, I am privileged to honor you as Employee of the Month. We salute you for bringing a hundred percent of yourself to your position each day and for the lasting impact you have on people we support, their families and all who are your students. We also wish you well in your new role; you will surely be fantastic. 

Sincerely, 

Trina Losinno
Executive Director
