Core Value Winner – September

"What a great dilemma to have, sometimes we have a hard time getting a nomination for this monthly recognition.  This month we had seven, all of which would be worthy of winning the monthly recognition.  Let’s honorably mention them.

Marlene from SE

Laura from the Bronze Team

James from SE

Kayla O.  from the Cobalt Team

Kwam from SE

Jon from the Cobalt Team

Now for our winner, Cherise (CC) Cox for the strong bonds she builds with her clients while regularly challenging them to adapt the way they think and work.

Congratulations CC and thank you  for being a great role model."

For over 40 years Assets Inc. has supported Alaskans with disabilities in their homes, work, and community. We have strived to help our community recognize the worth of the Alaskans that we serve. What started as a group of determined parents, friends and advocates with a vision of change has survived and grown with the unswerving work of Direct Support Professionals (DSPs). This week we celebrate our DSP’s and all of the work that they do to support Alaskans with disabilities! DSP 2024_SEP24_sm

Core Value Winner – August

Joanna Dickson nominated Maria Bonilla as a great example of staff exhibiting our core values. Maria showed excellence in resource coordination for her client and ensured /confirmed  a critical service was available and organized.

HMMMM, possible rookie of the year??? 😊


From the Executive Director:

"Well, I think the additional sun light that is part of spring has allowed us to see what good things our coworkers are doing. It had been 3 months since anyone was nominated for a core value. This month we got three. I have two Honorable Mentions: Mary Rider for her willingness to add exorbitant tasks to her busy day at the request of others when needed.  Kayla Almasy regularly flexes her schedule to accommodate clients needs without an audible whimper, ever.  The secret is, both these ladies have won this recognition in the last 8 months, and although deserving again we’re pinching pennies in hopes of some new employees being recognized.

This month we award the Core value spotlight to Vincente Molina for supporting three Non-English speaking employees by attending class with them so they get what they need from our trainer. (Dignity and Respect and Adapt overcome and improvise)"

Bus Fund: Update!

Update! Thank you to all for generously donating.  Our Bus is up and running!  Our folks are now able to access their community and work place!

Dear Friends,

Assets has never made a direct appeal for donations , but we are in a position requiring us to do so now.

Assets provides bus transportation to over fifty persons with disabilities who work on the JBER Military base. We do so without financial assistance.

One of our buses was replaced with a newer one allowing the older bus to be transferred to our Community Service Department.

This department depended on the bus to bring people to art and cooking groups, transportation for fishing and other cultural events

and as part of our Emergency Evacuation Plan. It has suffered a major mechanical issue we cannot afford to repair.

Please consider making any amount of donation.
