Happy New Year, Team VOA!

A new year means it’s time for a fresh look for the Core Connection newsletter. In 2024, you’ll likely notice new segments, streamlined content, and even a monthly poll question to spark your interest.  

It’s always fun to get to know our colleagues and what makes them tick. This month, we’d like to introduce Cynthia Hunter.

Share your story. It's super easy. Just fill out the 'Share Your Spotlight' form and we'll be in contact to get a picture. If you've done a spotlight in the past, encourage your amazing coworkers to participate! We all have something great to share.

Happy anniversary on your work milestones! We're so very proud to have each of you on the VOA Ohio & Indiana team. Thank you for your continued dedication.

This month, we honor VOA team member and United States Army Veteran Jerry Slemp, who recently celebrated 25 years of service with Volunteers of America Ohio & Indiana Residential Reentry. Co-workers describe Jerry as, “Throughout Jerry’s years of service he has lived the mission of helping others. He is the most humble and kind person I know.” 

Congratulations and thank you for your years of service, Jerry! 

Celebrating You

The celebrations don't stop there. We're wishing our team happy birthdays, happy anniversary and a big welcome for all our new team members. We're so happy you're here!
