Employee of the Month
Meet Addison
Addison just celebrated her second anniversary as Executive Director at The Arc of Wichita County. During her two short years here she has been instrumental in starting several new programs such as The HERO House, a Day Hab service, and the employment service program, which assists individuals with disabilities obtain employment and also provides some job coaching. She recently wrote a grant to The Priddy Foundation which allowed The Arc to purchase two new 14 passenger buses with wheelchair lifts so that all of The Arc's members would have an opportunity to go on outings and attend activities that we offer. In addition to being a great advocate to the members of The Arc, Addison is also a great leader to work for. She is compassionate and caring of everyone. One employee stated "Addison is a very kind and understanding boss." She always acknowledges her employees so this month we decided to turn the tables and honor Addison. Way to go Addison!!!
The Arc of Wichita County is dedicated to serving our community, but we wouldn't be successful without incredible employees like Addison.
