The events also recognized team members with Milestone anniversaries, meaning 10, 15 and up, in increments of five years.

“There is no better time than we come together to celebrate staff who have cumulatively dedicated centuries of care and compassion to those we serve,” said Wisconsin State Director Francie Tuescher. “We all share our individual contributions on a day-to-day basis, but when we all gather, it’s quickly apparent that, ‘Oh boy, we make a difference!’ I’m so proud to be in good company with all of you at Dungarvin Wisconsin.”

The Milwaukee 4-Year-Plus Staff Appreciation Event was a luncheon at Asiana Fine Dining in Pewaukee, a Milwaukee suburb. About 30 attendees enjoyed the fun of a Hibachi-prepared meal with very engaging chefs. “They really made it a great time, with jokes and compliments,” said Kevin Torres, Dungarvin Wisconsin’s Office Manager.

The event also honored five team members with 4-year-plus anniversaries, including Program Director Colleen Teeters’ 30 years with Dungarvin. “She’s considered the GOAT of supportive care; she’s a great role model to her staff, and an example of endurance in an ever-changing field,” said Area Director Michael Leo.

Dungarvin Wisconsin also hosted a 4-Year-Plus Staff Appreciation Event for the Rock County team at Prime Quarter Steakhouse in Janesville. Staff and leaders honored Direct Support Professional Sherrill Coleman, who celebrated her 15-year Milestone anniversary.

Congratulations to the Wisconsin teams and staff members celebrating Milestone anniversaries! Your national Dungarvin family appreciates you.
