Kelly Agett’s 30-Year Milestone Anniversary Celebrated by Dungarvin Colleagues and Leaders

Kelly Agett, Dungarvin’s Content Development and Learning Management System Manager, recently celebrated her 30-year Milestone anniversary with the organization. Kelly’s team and Dungarvin leaders gathered to honor her during a dinner at The Lexington restaurant in St. Paul.

During the evening, Kelly’s supervisor Claire Wilson, Director of Talent Development, gave a heartfelt speech, and Kelly’s colleagues surprised her by reciting a multi-stanza Haiku they wrote about her years with Dungarvin and the many roles she held. Kelly shared a few stories, too — some about her colleagues, which sparked plenty of laughter.

In addition to her team, attending the dinner were Dungarvin Co-founder Diane Madden, CEO Lori Kress, Chief Risk Officer Paul Smith, Vice President and Executive Regional Director Robert Bachicha, Vice President and Executive Regional Director Patrick Brendle, Central Regional Director Karin Stockwell and Director of Operational Accounting Services Monica Cordie.

When Kelly first started at Dungarvin, she thought she’d stay with the company for five years or so. However, within the first eight months, her thinking shifted. “I saw opportunities everywhere. I loved the mission of the company and could envision growth in areas that spoke to me: technology, creativity and teaching others how to be more efficient with their work.”

And, what made her want to stay with Dungarvin for three decades?  “The constant ability to grow, adapt and make a difference,” Kelly said. “Every change has been an opportunity to help our employees, from direct support professionals to directors, so they can better support the individuals who are the reason we all do this work.”

Congratulations, Kelly! We are so glad you’re a part of the Dungarvin family.
