Simply The Best

Congratulations to Jane Waiter who was selected as this year’s recipient of the Simply The Best Award.  Each year staff are asked to nominate coworkers who provide outstanding support and leadership in providing direct care.  Jane was nominated for the award by several of her peers.  She exemplifies empowerment for people supported and encourages independence and individual rights.  She is someone that people supported trust and rely on to support them to live their best lives.  She is a sincere advocate for people supported and the staff she works with.  She has a thorough understanding of people first philosophy and uses that to create robust supports.  She is always willing to go above and

beyond to assist and support her coworkers and the agency.  She is a great

asset to ABS.  Jane is Simply the Best for all of these reasons and many more.

Honorable mentions were also given to this year’s runner ups: Michala Hauger and Charity Schantz.
