Nominated Value: Collaboration
Kristin's efforts in educating providers, the SSA Department and others about the updated Electronic Visit Verification(EVV) has been incredible. Kristin has made herself a valuable resource to providers to assist them in making sure they understand EVV requirements. Kristin also put together tools to assist providers and the SSA Department to respond to questions about EVV when they come up and who they need to contact. She has put in a significant amount of time in doing presentations, attending meetings to stay current on the latest information and responding to questions that she receives from providers and staff.
Nominated Value: Empowering Others
I’m nominating Kyle Miller for his incredible ability to empower others through mentorship and challenge. I’m deeply grateful for the way he has inspired me to be better and more intentional, even when it’s uncomfortable. He reminds us that true growth requires disruption, reflection, and truth-telling, especially in a world that often seeks comfort over change. I’m learning to lean into that — and to be more comfortable, being a catalyst for growth and change. I often feel my outspoken ideas and thoughts come across as a disruption, but Kyle has empowered me to see that sometimes the disruption can be powerful when it’s grounded in purpose and if that purpose is to reach our mission and goals.
