Laurie Wright was nominated due to the excellent job she had done in the position of Interim Residential Manager. Recently Laurie was asked to assume the residential manager's job responsibilities at the Park Avenue Community Residence until a candidate for the position could be hired. Laurie did not hesitate and accepted the interim position on September 10th after the existing Residential Manager retired. Laurie tackled her responsibilities in a determined and competent way. She immediately proved that she could make sound decisions in all aspects of program operations. The residents at the Park Avenue residence were so impressed with Laurie's management of the program they submitted a petition requesting to keep her as their residential manager. Laurie's efforts ensured that a seamless and successful transition period was established for all the residents and staff. Laurie deserves this nomination for her loyalty and commitment, not only to the consumers but to the STEL agency as well. Congratulations Laurie!
