Loretta Kinner

Program Manager

Broome

There are many reasons Loretta is deserving of this recognition. For one, she always goes above and beyond, not only for the, but also for those that work under her. Loretta never asks anyone to do anything that she herself wouldn’t do. She’s the first one to help out and work alongside you, leaving her own work to the wayside.

Loretta makes time for you no matter what, whether it’s for personal reasons or be it work related. She doesn’t pass judgment and ensures that you feel supported. Loretta demonstrates great commitment not only to ACHIEVE but to the individuals. She’s a positive role model and very rarely gets discouraged. Loretta has handled very many tough situations at the IRA’s and works well with the individuals involved along with their families to get things remedied accordingly.

Often times, Loretta will call the IRA or stop in to check on everyone and make sure that things are okay and not even be working at that time. Loretta is a vast of knowledge and is always willing to teach and train new things. I personally have learned so much from her and am truly thankful and appreciative.

During the month of January, Helen street went through a rough time with losing a dear sweet friend. Loretta was our rock through it all. From telling the house that their dear friend was very ill and to keep her in their prayers, taking the lead and planning the funeral, and checking in on every single staff member to ensure they were okay, Loretta was there.

Her heart is in her work and with each individual we care for. I can say Loretta isn’t in this job just for a paycheck, but she’s in it for the caring compassion she shows to each and every one she touches. Loretta is one in a million and a hard one to every replace.
