This could be the shortest Employee of the Month letter I ever wrote. All I really need to say is that in one year's time you supported all five individuals in SPIN's new behavioral health unit to be employed. Wow! This truly demonstrates your belief in everyone's employability. 

Chris Rudzinski pointed out in the nomination letter that you have a strong interest in the whole person and in learning everything you can about their interests so that you can better understand what the best job for them may be and how best to support them. You also believe in people and have faith in their ability to be successful. When the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation was skeptical about Hampton obtaining a job, you and he together proved them wrong. Hampton works five days a week and loves his job.

Your passion for being an Employment Specialist comes through in all of your conversations and activities. You listen to Direct Support Professionals and managers to glean every bit of information you need to do your job and you provide leadership and encouragement to all of the BHU team members. 

Of course you are no stranger to the Employee of the Month Award; we did this in January, 2005 when you were assisting individuals in supported living. You definitely have a vision for yourself and those you support and excellence is the keystone. So, today it is my pleasure to honor you as Employee of the Month for January, 2007 and to thank you on behalf of the Board of Directors, your fellow employees and the men you support to be part of the community workforce. You've taught us all that mixing strong belief and hard work are a winning combination. Congratulations.

Sincerely,


Trina Losinno
Executive Director
