click here to nominateI wanted to take a moment to share my experience working with Nick and to express my sincere appreciation for the person he is and the work he does.
Over the past year, I've had the pleasure of working with Nick. While we haven't spent an extensive amount of time together, every interaction has left a lasting impression. Nick consistently shows up with kindness, professionalism, and a genuine willingness to help. He treats people with respect, carries himself with integrity, and approaches his work with a positive attitude that does not go unnoticed.
Whenever I submit a maintenance request, I know I can count on Nick. He is dependable, responsive, and takes pride in doing the job right. His reliability brings peace of mind, and his attention to detail reflects a level of care that is becoming increasingly rare. He doesn't simply complete tasks—he follows through with excellence.
What stands out even more than his work ethic, however, is his character. Nick is simply a good human being. He makes those around him feel valued, and his kindness and humility are evident in every interaction. People like Nick are the foundation of a healthy workplace. They quietly make everyone else's job easier through consistency, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to doing the right thing.
Morghan is one of those rare professionals whose impact ripples outward in every direction, touching clients, fellow staff, and the culture of the program as a whole.
In his work with clients, he is consistently forthright, honest, and genuinely invested in their wellbeing. His approach is gentle yet firm. He holds clients accountable with care, meeting them where they are while never losing sight of where they need to go. This balance is not easy to strike, and he does it with a naturalness that speaks to both his skill and his character. By modeling this approach openly and consistently, he sets a standard that elevates the entire team. Staff witness how he engages and are inspired to bring that same intentionality to their own interactions.
His willingness to go above and beyond is also worth naming directly. Whenever extra support is needed, whether for a client in a difficult moment or a colleague who could use a hand, he shows up without hesitation. That kind of reliability is the backbone of a strong program.
Perhaps his most distinctive contribution is the Self-Discovery group he facilitates. Under his guidance, clients are invited into a space of genuine reflection, where nonjudgmental peer feedback creates the conditions for real self-knowledge to emerge. Clients in this group consistently demonstrate meaningful growth in their self-awareness, growth that translates directly into their recovery journeys. Facilitating a group that achieves this depth requires both clinical skill and a rare capacity to hold space with warmth and wisdom, and he does both exceptionally well.
This program is stronger because he is part of it. He is more than deserving of this recognition.
Preston his a very inspiring lead and coworker. His word's really are deep and loving. I get to witness and hear how he helped client's pull through there struggle and how much his feedback really touched them and held guide them through rough time's. I really look up to him and enjoy hearing his speech. A amazing peer who has taught me to be better each day at my job.
Mario has brought new life to the facility by giving the clients many more activities so that they can learn how to live life sober. He makes sure that the facility is in great shape and is a safe environment for the clients. He has great feedback and is logical in his explanations. He sets a fun tone, even with his dry sense of humor. He is a SAP, and he brings this every day to help the clients grow!

Aleesha Has had her struggles we all do but lately I have seen her stepping up with the clients, attendance, and the work. It has been obvious to me that she is trying to do the best job possible and be there for the clients and coworkers. We have had our issues to work through, anyone spending 8 hours a day 5 days a week together are bound to have some. Lately even when having a challenging day Aleesha keeps a positive outlook and does what is needed to be done. I really believe that for the positive behaviors she is displaying, the work she is doing to better herself, and the determination she has for the things she is working on recondition would go a log way. It is important to Aleesha to be seen and get the positive feedback when she is working on making positive Changes. I am recommending Aleesha for this award now because I want the positive changes to continue and I believe that getting the award would go a long way in promoting and encouraging the changes that are happening. Thank you for consideration in this matter and I hope you can see as I have the benefit of Aleesha winning the award. Thank you Kelly.
