Round of Applause: Melaina Hall

Melaina is always there for anyone in need…from professional guidance (always ready and available to answer a question or walk someone through a process) to emotional support (always the first to think of others and come up with wonderful ways to celebrate or support her coworkers). She is generous and very knowledgeable which makes her a vital and essential part of our team and community.

Nominated by Debbie Dryer

Round of Applause: Lou Owoc

Lou is a lifesaver when it comes to helping with vouchers and WebTravel. I can always count on her to give a quick response to an email or to pick up the phone when I call with a quick question. If she doesn’t have an answer right away, she always follows up when she has a response.

Nominated by Lydia Mayer

Round of Applause: Bethany Meighen

Bethany is not only a wonderful boss but a wonderful colleague as well. She is always attentive to those around her and knows how to make someone’s day with a box of donuts, a thoughtful note, or an encouraging word. Bethany has created an atmosphere of community and inclusion in the Garden Suite and she radiates kindness wherever she goes!
