At JEVS Human Services, many of the nearly 2,000 employees are long-standing. Whether they’ve been here for a few years or a few decades, JEVS staff is dedicated to helping people get education, jobs, and vital services.
To honor employees reaching 20 to 40 years of service, JEVS held its Milestone Recognition Event at the Philadelphia Ethical Society. In total, 32 employees were recognized.
Giving the keynote remarks, JEVS President and CEO Cynthia Figueroa said, “We’re celebrating 20-, 25-, 30-, 35-, and 40-year milestones! Think about what that means. If in the last year we were able to reach 16000 individuals – in just one year – think about 40 times that number: the countless lives that have been touched, changed, supported, and cared for during the years of service by these JEVS employees.”
Direct managers for the honorees gave introductions and presented the milestone awards.
Speaking of her experience, 20-year milestone honoree Crystal Shaw shared, “I just want to say that I am truly grateful and blessed to work for JEVS.” She also thanked her daughter who flew in from Los Angeles to see her mom receive her milestone award.
Robert Herrmann is a JEVS Facilities employee who was recognized for 40 years of service. His current supervisor Damaris Feliciano, VP of Facilities, said that Robert “is an invaluable asset to the facilities team and to JEVS. He knows every aspect of OTC!”
Following the ceremony, everyone enjoyed a reception to celebrate the honorees.
