Our Difference Maker program seeks to recognize staff members who are going above and beyond with our mission of creating positive relationships, personalized experiences, and a focus on the future. Each month, one of our Difference Makers is featured as a spotlight, with a special video and recognition before the Board to thank them for the impactful work they do.
