March into spring with us!

Here we stand in between winter and spring…in other words, March. According to the calendar, the first spring day officially falls in March so things are starting to look up! Even though a mish-mash of snow and mud fills the land and the weather is unpredictable, our outlook on life keeps improving as the flowers begin to bloom. At OEI, we say, "let us all begin marching forward!"

Employee Highlight




This month we would like to highlight Krista Ladd. Krista has worked for the company for over a decade in various positions. In Krista’s current role, she works as the agency’s Shared Living Oversight Coordinator. Krista is a valuable member of the OEI family for a variety of reasons but in particular for her ability to perform almost any job at OEI with ease. She is hard working and organized but above all has a caring heart and a kindness about her that is admired by many. She has a compassionate way about her and it is reflected in the way she connects with our shared living providers and the individuals we jointly support. To say we appreciate you, Krista would be an understatement. Thank you for your years of service to the agency!
