Purpose, Worthwhile Work, Making a Difference!

Joe treats everyone he encounters with a high level of empathy and compassion. I hear about it from others, and I had an experience with him today where I observed it first-hand. I was in a ride along with him years ago and was in complete admiration of how he approaches his job and the way he gives a peaceful assurance to those he’s trying to help. If ever there is someone deserving of this recognition, it is Joe. He is one of the best!

We congratulate Joe on being chosen March's Employee of the Month.
