Three Employees Nominated for National Award!

We are excited and honored to announce the nomination of three of our employees for

ANCOR’s 2015 Direct Support Professional Recognition Award! 

 

 

Greg Brown, Program Counselor in the Community Support Services Program, Lorraine McCall, Employment Specialist at the Island Lane Day Program, and Mike Luongo, Employment Specialist also at the Island Lane Day Program were nominated by their supervisors based on meeting the criteria set forth by the American Network of Community Options and Resources (ANCOR).  

 

This annual award recognizes the best of the Direct Support Professional workforce and, at the same time, raises awareness of the devotion, professionalism and quality supports DSPs provide in their daily work.  Most people are not aware of the vital role DSPs play in their communities; and ANCOR's National Advocasy Campaign is out to change that. 

 

The nominated employees, who have been with Marrakech for a combined total of 65 years, personify "person-centered" in the way they provide services and have, over the years, been a constant source of support and encouragement for the individuals they support. We are so proud of them and will feature each one of these employees and their nomination story individually in upcoming blogs, so keep an eye out for them!       

Although there are so many stories about our amazing employees doing wonderful things for individuals here at Marrakech every day, we were only able to submit three nominations for this award, and it was very difficult to select just three!  We continue to collect these stories about incredible employees and will share them with you in the upcoming months!
