Employees at the Allen County Board of Developmental Disabilities were recognized for their hard work in the community.
A staff in-service ceremony highlighted the work done by the agency in helping residents in the county, as well as outlining ways they can continue to provide care and services. Staff members were also recognized with awards for their service in the community. Organizers say that the event helps get new members up to speed, as well as highlight accomplishments over the past year.
"This day and age, every job is hired and every job is also rewarding and I think it's also important to honor and reward your staff for the years that can been hard and difficult and the days can be challenging but we see those good works that they're doing and we want to honor and celebrate," expressed Rachel Staley, director of early intervention. "Today is all about celebrating the little things and that's what we want to focus on, is that there's good in this world, there's a lot of good that goes around in our agency."
The event also showcased employee annual requirements for providing developmental disabilities services.
