Good News Friday!

Tonight is Imagine!’s annual employee holiday party, and that means that once again I will have the honor of publicly acknowledging Imagine!’s 2012 Employees of Distinction.

I often comment about how fortunate I am to work at Imagine!, because the level of dedication, creativity, and passion among our employees is astounding. But even in that rarefied atmosphere, there are a few employees that still manage to stand out. Employees who make a tremendous difference to our organization and the people we serve. These are our Employees of Distinction.

Below are this year’s honorees, along with just a little information about what makes each employee so deserving of this prestigious award.

Congratulations to our 2012 Employees of Distinction!
