On December 31, 2019, Patricia Netter retired after 27 years of Faithful Service. Her contribution to the agency was extremely appreciated as she served as the Community Living Supports (CLS) Manager for many years.
On January 17, 2020, Patricia honored with a fabulous retirement party hosted by The Jessamine Place. Her guest included family, friends and co-workers.
Patricia was a great assest to the agency and she will be truly missed.
The “Lizzie Award” – “Above and Beyond” was developed in the loving memory of the late Lizzie Quarterman, who was an outstanding employee of The Jessamine Place. As a Direct Support Professional and Team Leader, she demonstrated “the extra mile” approach to supporting people served by the agency.
The Jessamine Place is very proud to announce the agency’s first place recipient for this prestigious award is Vanessa King. She received a $100 gift card along with beautiful plague commemorating her recognition. Also pictured are runner-ups, Vantina Manley and Casandra Carver. Both ladies were awarded certificates and gift cards.
A direct support professional is a person who assists and advocates for individuals with a disability to lead a self-directed life while becoming full members of their community. DSPs encourage positive attitudes and behaviors that enhance community inclusion. A DSP engages in meaningful and rewarding work while helping fulfill dreams.
Thank You for a job well done!
