We are pleased to announce the SA Value Award Recipient for Excellence for July, 2024! Congratulations to Jess Eitelberg, Quality & Compliance Assistant in the SA Training Institute! Pictured: Jess Eitelberg (Center), receiving the award from Rob Hays, Director (left) and Claire Clauson, QCDA (right). The pursuit of Excellence is an on-going practice requiring persistence and diligence. From the ways we approach our work, to the culture of excellence stewarded by our leadership, each person in our organization commits to bringing their best to the table each and every day. This begins with the expectations we set for ourselves. It is carried out in the ways in which we relate to our customers, clients, and each other. It informs the choices we make as individuals and as a company. The nomination for Jess stood out for providing very specific examples of what defines excellence. A component of the work Jess does is in service to the Developmental Disabilities Specific Training (DDST) program. In Jess, excellence shows up whether it is through characteristics such as professionalism and collaboration or through approaching challenges and processes with team input and engagement. Excellence is carried out through the work Jess has done creating clear processes, improving the organization of systems, and her collaborative approach that has also increased efficiencies. #servicealternatives #savalues #excellence #sacares
