When you do that, you make a difference! 🏆
At ILCAO, we like to celebrate making a difference in our community. "When You Do That, You Make A Difference" is a peer-nominated recognition that celebrates employees who demonstrate our ACTION Values: Accountability, Compassion, Teamwork, Integrity, Opportunity, and being Needs-Oriented.
Through everyday actions and moments of care, our staff make a real impact on each other and on the community.
Today, we are happy to recognize Bree Litwiler who were nominated for her dedication to our values. Read the nomination below:
"I would like to nominate Bree Litwiler for the “When You Do That, You Make A Difference” award in recognition of the kindness, compassion, and positivity she consistently brings to the One Stop building.
Bree has a special way of making the workplace brighter and reminding her coworkers that they are valued and appreciated. Throughout the year, and especially during the holidays, she takes the time to create thoughtful, festive surprises for her coworkers. These small but meaningful gestures bring smiles, laughter, and a sense of joy to the office. While they may seem like simple acts of kindness, they make a lasting impression and contribute to a more positive and supportive work environment.
Bree exemplifies our ACTION values, particularly Compassion and Teamwork. She understands that making a difference is not limited to the services we provide to our clients. It is also about how we treat one another, how we lift each other up, and how we create a workplace where people feel seen, appreciated, and supported.
In the busy and sometimes challenging world of social services, it can be easy to get caught up in our daily responsibilities and forget how much the little things matter. Bree reminds us of that through her thoughtfulness and the genuine happiness she brings whenever she visits the offices. Her efforts help boost employee morale and create moments of connection that make our workplace feel a little more like a family.
Bree is a wonderful example of how small acts of kindness can make a big difference. She gives her time and thoughtfulness simply to brighten someone else's day, and that generosity deserves to be recognized. Her compassion for her coworkers reflects the values we strive to uphold in the One Stop building and reminds us that the way we care for one another matters, too.
Thank you, Bree, for sharing your kindness so freely, for bringing smiles to your coworkers, and for making the One Stop building a happier place to work. Your thoughtfulness may come in small packages, but the positive impact you make is anything but small."
