Each year at ADEC, we take a step back and recognize ADEC employees who have reached milestone anniversaries. On Tuesday, Jan. 17, ADEC hosted a dinner at Antonio’s in Elkhart to recognize the employees who celebrated in 2016. All total, there were 245 years of service represented at that dinner. What an incredible gift for the people ADEC serves – 245 years of reliable care and experience.
Here at ADEC, we know our employees make the difference every day for our clients as they enjoy full, meaningful lives. This week, as we honor people who have spent several years, even decades, investing in the people we serve, we celebrate ADEC’s continuing legacy of 65 years of choice and possibility and the people who make that possible.
“I’m grateful to lead an organization that inspires such dedication,” said Donna Belusar, ADEC’s President and CEO. “I’d like to thank each person for their years of service and passion for our mission.”
