I am very pleased to receive this award which I see as an incredible honor. To me the award refects so much about the opportunity that Landis Homes gives to its employees to grow and develop... even giving space for persons like myself to be curious, experiment and to fnd solutions.... some that even resulted in improvements.

I think serving creatively involves giving employees space and opportunity to explore methods of improvement.  Landis Homes for me has welcomed innovation and encouraged the development of ideas to make our community a beter place.

I give my thanks to each person on the IT team.  Duane, who somehow keeps calm and consistently fnd solutions even in the midst of multiple technology challenges.  Chris, and his skill to manage virtual servers, Windows networking and pounding away until there is a breakthrough. Donna, who is great at bridging the gap between Technology and Nursing.

I give my thanks also to the Landis Homes management team for their nomination and their kind encouragement. They lead well in honoring employees, making it a great place to work so that the ministry of Landis Homes can be accomplished: to serve aging adults and their families by honoring and enriching their lives in a community of Christ-like love.
