Employee of the Month
Meet our May Employee of the Month, Mallory LeDoux!
The Arc of Wichita County would like to recognize Mallory as the Employee of the Month for June. Mallory originally was connected with The Arc by volunteering. After being connected with several of our programs and seeing her dedication to our members, we decided to create a position and hire her on as a Summer Intern. We have frequently found ourselves saying, "What would we have done without Mallory?!"
Mallory has gone above and beyond in her role and in the month of June earned her spot as Employee of the Month. The long list of some of her tasks this month have been Day Hab billing and filling in for staff, working at Camp Noah, assisting in the office and helping us catch up on our databases, taken on the lead role in coordinating our Talent Show coming up next month, and so much more! The tasks and responsibilities are not why we hand out employee of the month awards, but it is what they do to go above and beyond the role assigned. Mallory has exemplified joy and adaptability. If we ask her to do something or change her schedule around for the day, she does so with a smile on her face and a great attitude. She has also tried to figure out ways to stay involved in our programs even after the internship ends. She is always looking for ways to improve and think outside of the box.
The Arc of Wichita County is proud to have dedicated and passionate team members like Mallory!
Thank You Mallory!
Thank You Camp Noah Volunteers
