people who have intellectual and other developmental disabilities.
Stephanie Presutti-Kubiak, a direct support professional
with Allegany Arc for the past five years, received this year’s Thomas Maul
award – given to a direct support professional who has demonstrated exemplary
performance and commitment to improving the quality of life for people with
developmental disabilities. Stephanie is the third employee from Allegany Arc
to receive the award.
Allegany Arc’s Chief Executive Officer Mike Damiano had this
to say about Stephanie, “I am honored to recognize Stephanie as the Western
Region’s recipient of The Arc New York’s Thomas A. Maul Direct Support
Professional Excellence Award. Stephanie believes that all people with
intellectual and developmental disabilities are defined by their own strengths,
abilities and inherent value, and must be treated with dignity, equality, and
respect. Through her keen ability to listen, empathize, and navigate through
multiple perspectives, Stephanie earns the trust and respect of both those she
serves, and her coworkers. Congratulations to Stephanie – Allegany Arc is excited
to have you honored with this well-deserved award.”
