The nomination for Jhannaya stood out to the committee for highlighting the many ways she demonstrates responsibility and accountability in managing program finances and budgets. As a Residential Manager, fiscal responsibility is essential, and as someone who is still relatively new, Jhannaya has invested time and effort into understanding our financial reports (which, let’s be honest, can be complex!). Her commitment is evident in the time she dedicates to budgeting and being proactive in initiating meetings to seek understanding and grow.

The nomination also recognizes Jhannaya’s resourcefulness in supporting clients and the team. She finds new opportunities for the clients who struggle with resources – and recently helped the local office secure furniture. When the office needed to do a dump run, she found a solution that avoided the expense and hassle of a truck rental.

Here are a few other quotes from the nomination that speak to her impact:

“ I appreciate how much she inquiries about where money is going and why.  Challenging and making suggestions on new ideas of how we can save money.  She reviews EOM’s (end of month financials) very carefully, always asks questions to get clarification on what charges are.”

“As she works through learning and gaining knowledge around financial processes, she shares this with her peers as well as the employees that work in her program.  Sharing and training others not only benefits the entire organization but really speaks to her leadership.”

 “Jhannaya is an extremely bright, efficient, honest women with a great future ahead of her and I really believe she embodies this value and is a standard of excellence when it comes to fiscal responsibility.” 

Jhannaya, thank you for being grounded in the ways in which we budget and spend. Your leadership is helping shape a stronger future – for your team and clients we serve. Congratulations!
