  Happy Friday, Assets! We wanted to start today by recognizing a valuable member of our team, and Assets’ newest Employee of the Month, Nick Behling! Nick was nominated by a co-worker after he was able to negotiate a heck of a deal on behalf of Assets, leading to a significant 5-year savings to the agency! That’s huge! Nick is passionate about Assets mission and leads our core values each and every day. Here is what Nick’s co-worker had to say: “Nick displayed the Assets values during these months long process by treating everyone involved with Dignity and Respect.   He has made a difference in the lives of individuals served by securing the Assets “historical location” for the future.  He continued to improve, adapt, and overcome spearheading the project with the presentation, request letter, and interaction during tours with Trust Representatives.  He became the face of Assets at both the Real Estate Committee and full Board meeting of the Trust this February 2025.” Congratulations, Nick! Well deserved!  

He exemplifies the mission of our agency. “I have been with Assets for 10 years, and it has been an amazing journey.  Working here at Assets allow you to feel good about your day.  Helping others to better their lives is a blessing, and our team here is amazing.  Everyone here believes in our mission and treats everyone with dignity and respect.  We aim to improve employment opportunities, home environments, and community connections for the individuals we serve.” Come and join Joe and our team at Assets to have a real difference!

We celebrated the National Disability Employment Awareness Month by acknowledging the work of Century 16, a community employer that has gone above and beyond to support individuals with disabilities! Century 16 helps individuals to gain job skills and build natural supports so they can work as independently as possible. They currently employ one individual that has successfully graduated from supports and works independently at the job site!

Hello!  I wanted to take a minute to express my excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to serve you as the new executive director of Assets.  I have a long history of collaborating with Assets and a few years of serving on the board.  I want to work here because every staff person lives the mission and is clear about the important work that is done here to serve others.  Please feel free to stop by my office to say hello!
