In the vibrant tapestry of Community Based Services (CBS), there are stars that shine exceptionally brightly. Among them, two remarkable staff members have emerged as our Employees of the Year for 2024 – Syvonne Hoerup, DSP at the Putnam WOW program and Jana Vernarsky in the residential program.
A Well-Deserved Honor
Syvonne’s and Jana’s journey to this prestigious honor began with a secret ballot vote by our dedicated direct support staff from CBS programs. These votes were not just a reflection of their colleagues’ appreciation but a testament to their unwavering commitment to CBS’s mission.
Champions of Quality of Life
At the heart of CBS’s mission lies the commitment to enhance the quality of life for the people we support, those with autism and other disabilities. Jana and Syvonne epitomize this commitment through their exceptional work in both the residential and day programs.
“I cannot express how grateful I am for this award. Special thanks to an amazing team at Fairmount and especially to the management, without you I wouldn’t be where I am! Thank you,” says Jana.
“Thank you for acknowledging my work! Thank you for the guidance and motivation! It is a pleasure to be a part of Community Based Services and be able to make a difference in the lives of those we serve,” says Syvonne.
Joining the Ranks of Excellence
Jana and Syvonne now join the esteemed ranks of previous Employees of the Year, each of whom has left an indelible mark on our organization. Their nominations shone a light on several outstanding qualities, including:
- Impeccable Attendance: Reliability is a cornerstone of their dedication.
- Creativity: They bring innovation and fresh perspectives to their roles.
- Compassion: A genuine care for others defines their interactions.
- Strong Work Ethic: Their commitment to excellence is unwavering.
“Each of you are truly an asset to Community Based Services! Your dedication and hard work are greatly appreciated. Despite the challenges, your perseverance has seen us through another successful year. Congratulations!”
