The Rev. Sue Jamison Receives Servant Leadership Award
Each year at Albright Care Services’ Annual Meeting, the Best of the Best staff awards are presented. In 2012, the Seneca S. Foote Servant Leadership Award was created in honor of Seneca Foote who served as Albright’s president and CEO from 2004 until 2011. This award honors an employee who demonstrates compassion, moral authority and a collaborative work style on a daily basis.
This year, the Rev. Sue Jamison was the recipient of this award. Sue is an ordained Elder in the Susquehanna Conference and is in an Extension Ministry appointment as the Annual Fund Director at Albright Care Services, a position she has held since 2006.
In her introductory remarks, Vice President of Fund Development Fran Ashby commented, “A servant leader at her core puts people first. Leading by example, showing compassion, listening, appreciating diversity of thought – these are the qualities of our 2017 servant leader.”
Shaun Smith, President & CEO of Albright, stated, “Sue’s friendliness, cordiality and cooperation are widely recognized. Her dependability in accomplishing her responsibilities has gained the respect of residents, co-workers and management. Her positive attitude towards her job and her loyalty to the organization are noted as an example for her co-workers. Her willingness to ‘go the extra mile’ is an outstanding quality. Sue represents the initiative, enthusiasm and dedication which make Albright Care Services’ communities a special place for our residents and guests.”
In accepting the award, Sue expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to support Albright’s mission. “It takes a team to tackle all that we are tasked with doing in order to meet the mission of ensuring that everyone who is part of the Albright family is taken care of, regardless of their ability to pay. I continue to do this work because I value that mission,” said Sue. She ended her remarks with this advice: “Be kind. Find something to be grateful for every day. And when you hear music, get up and dance!”
Albright, celebrating 100 years of service to the Susquehanna Valley, invites you to continue your mission by joining us at one of our six locations. Visit www.albrightcare.org for information on senior living, day programs, giving or volunteering.
