February 2011 Employee of the Month is Tim Ingraham

Tim Ingraham, IT Assistant with The Arc of Orleans County, has
been named the February 2011 Employee of the Month. At the end of February, the Community Living and Supported Employment departments had to temporarily relocate. Tim arrived very early, taking the server down and moving it to the new location. He had the staff computers all set up by the end of the first day with almost everyone up and running. He had copiers ready to go almost immediately and by the second day, two offices that had no computer accessibility or phones were all set up for staff. Tim's proactive nature was the driving force in a smooth transition to the new space. Thank you, Tim, for all your hard work!

Jen Batt Named Employee of the Month for January 2011


The Arc of Orleans County is proud to announce that Jen Batt, Senior MSC with Family Support Services, has been named Employee of the Month for January 2011. Jen has been working very hard for several months to assist with implementing the new Precision Care Data Base with the MSC's. During the month of January, this system was introduced to both the Community Living and the Vocational departments. Many questions arose and Jen took on the leadership role of handing calls, answering questions, and giving needed guidance and direction to staff from these departments. Jen offered her knowledge in a professional and caring manner to the benefit of the entire Agency. Thank you, Jen, and congratulations!
