Esther Perez - August DSP Award Recipient

The Portage County Board of Developmental Disabilities is proud to recognize Esther Perez as the Portage DD Direct Support Professional (DSP) Award Recipient for the month of August.   Esther works for Ultimate Beginnings and was nominated by Shelmin Williams.  Here is what Shelmin had to say about Esther:

Esther is awesome! She has been with Ultimate Beginnings a few years now and she has always gone above and beyond for our individuals. Holidays, birthdays, or just because, Esther is sure to make sure our individuals feel valued, loved, and supported. Esther is appreciated more than she will ever know!

The Direct Support Professional (DSP) of the Month Award is for those staff who provide direct support or direct services for individuals served throughout Portage County.

This award is an opportunity to nominate someone who has gone above and beyond to improve the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities, while also promoting independence and inclusion.

Individual award recipients will receive public recognition from Portage DD and will be promoted on our social media channels. Award recipients will also later be considered for Direct Support Professional of the Year.

All nominations will be kept on file for review and consideration for a period of 12 months after initial submission.
