May Employee of the Month
May 31, 2019
Congratulations to our May Employee of the Month ,Diane Impronto for living our value- renewing ourselves to share our strength.
Diane has been devoted to the organization for over 40 years and has had an integral role in our agency’s mission and assisted with the organizational culture. She has worn many hats over the years, with playing a role in many different facets of the agency. With new management to the agency, her role has changed but her attitude has not. She has always demonstrated the team player attitude, one would want in their department. Coming on board in a new position can be a challenge, but her professionalism and willingness, has made it easier to become acclimated to the organization.
