Employee of the Month
Meet our May Employee of the Month, Ashley Whitfield!
The Arc of Wichita County would like to recognize Ashley Whitfield as the Employee of the Month for May. Ashley is our Volunteer Coordinator as well as our Camp Harmony Director. Ashley began working at The Arc in March and has already made a huge difference. The number of volunteers we have serving The Arc has consistently grown due to her improvements to our volunteer program. She has implemented a new volunteer training program which has made it easier and more comfortable for new volunteers by giving them more knowledge about all our programs. Ashley also organized and directed Camp Harmony during the month of May. This was her first year being involved with camp and she definitely exceeded expectations. Camp Harmony was well organized and extremely fun for all involved. She will also be directing Camp Wonder, our teen summer camp, and we are extremely excited and very confident she will make it just as amazing as Camp Harmony was. The Arc of Wichita County is proud to have dedicated and passionate team members like Ashley Whitfield.
Thank You Ashley!
