February 2013

Ruth Maxwell, ARM in Wellsville, is the staff member of the month.  Ruth is a long time employee and a valuable asset to the agency.  In addition to seeing the operations of the WTAP, Ruth takes the initiative to assist with tasks that arise at the CR and the SRO.  Ruth works cooperatively with her supervisor and management staff.  As many agency staff can attest, often our days do not go as planned, but Ruth is able to adjust to the ever changing demands of the day.  Michele Henry stated that she can always count on Ruth to pitch in and help out when needed. Ruth enjoys participating in the special events of the agency and likes working with the quality improvement committee.  She also helps out with general repairs and painting in our different programs as needed.  She is well-respected by her co-workers and the local service providers.  Ruth is one of the many unsung heroes who work for STEL.  She takes her job seriously, strives to do it right, and deserves recognition for her efforts.  Congratulations Ruth!
