NY DirectorGiven the nature of our work, we are pro-grammed to keep a keen eye on the progress that is made on a daily, monthly and yearly basis. We strive to empower and encourage others to reach their po-tential and beyond.
We strategize, implement, monitor and adjust, all the while allowing for change and growth. We utilize these techniques for the individuals we serve, our employees, colleagues and more than likely for ourselves. A fine example of the latter is our very own Stacey Lloyd, Residential Director for the Ballston Lake & Cobleskill offices. Stacey has spent her tenure of nearly five years with our organization developing and fine tuning the residential programming throughout the multitude of counties served in her region. She developed a strong team that worked together closely to raise the bar of quality programming by implementing systems and expectations to ensure on-going success; for program participants and employees alike.
Stacey’s professional goals grew dramatically when she enrolled in a master’s degree program for Rehabilitation Counseling three years ago. On May 14th, she officially obtained her degree at Assumption College in Massachusetts. Her plan is to use her knowledge (and degree) to further her efforts to enhance programming while expanding upon clinical services. Thank you, Stacey, for your hard work and inspiration... congratulations!
