Dungarvin Indiana Celebrates Staff Milestones and Rockstars

There were plenty of people to honor during Dungarvin Indiana’s recent Milestone Event, including longtime employees, an ANCOR DSP of the Year, and several Rockstars.

The event took place at The Brewery Lodge & Supper Club in Michigan City, Indiana, where three staff members celebrating Milestone anniversaries with Dungarvin, and their family members, enjoyed a delicious dinner. The Milestone honorees are: Andrea Hooker and Pat Love, who have been with Dungarvin for 10 years; and Hosea Kosgei, who’s been with the company for 15 years.

Area Manager Rodney Spencer started off the evening’s program, and Senior Director Brenda Falcone made closing remarks. Also in attendance were Dungarvin’s East Regional Director Julie Josephitis and Indiana State Business Manager Tracie Naillieux.

“This was our first year celebrating at The Brewery Lodge; it was a lovely venue, and their food was delicious,” said Area Director Annmarie Fanning. “Our Milestone Event also includes ‘Rockstars’ whom we’ve nominated. They are Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) and Lead DSPs who go above and beyond their everyday job duties to support individuals served. We take time to recognize them and all they do on a daily basis.”

This year’s Indiana Rockstars are: Jennifer Antisdel, Tiyana Farmer, Penelope Palomin, Lucas Porter, Althea Readus, Leah Ronske, Ebony Smith and Keeshia Hibler. Keeshia, the Portage Office Manager, represents the first Indiana team member from a support department to be nominated as a Rockstar, said her nominator, State Office Manager Barb Stanford.

“Keeshia is the glue that holds the office together. She is always willing to go above and beyond, and her warmth and smile shine through, even in the most stressful of situations,” Barb said.

Also given special recognition during the Milestone Event was Indiana’s ANCOR DSP of the Year Rose Musgrave. (Read about Rose here.)
