Hasan, a valued member of Southern Tier Connect and self-advocate on the Family Advisory Board, is going above and beyond to make a positive change for himself and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. He does this with the support of his loving family, who cheer him on through every accomplishment.

Hasan is also a member of Green Mountain Self-Advocates and participates in the Voices and Choices Conference for people with disabilities in Vermont each year. He is an experienced inspirational speaker and advocate for himself and others with disabilities, focusing on topics such as inclusion, rights, and the importance of making independent life choices.

Thank you, Hasan, for your passion, advocacy, and dedication to creating positive change for yourself and others with disabilities.

Today, we are recognizing two outstanding staff members of our Utica remote team, Kat Ingersoll and Monique Millard!

Working remotely comes with unique challenges, especially when building the everyday connections that naturally happen in a traditional office setting. Despite that, Kat and Monique consistently go above and beyond to support STC members and their team.

Kat has been with Southern Tier Connect (STC) for 3.5 years and continues to be an incredible asset to our organization. She is flexible, dependable, and always willing to step in to help with coverage whenever needed. Her supportive nature and positive attitude make a difference every day for members and coworkers alike.

Monique joined STC just over a year ago and quickly became an invaluable part of the team. She hit the ground running with her knowledge, communication skills, and dedication to member care. She is always willing to help where needed and consistently ensures that members receive timely, high-quality support.
Utica CCM Supervisor Beth Bierstine had this to say, “It has been a pleasure supervising both of them. They each bring different strengths to the team, and their dedication allows us to continue meeting our members’ needs with confidence and care.”

Thank you, Kat, Monique, and Beth, for everything you do for STC and the people we support!

STC staff from the Hamden and Oneonta offices recently volunteered with Delaware Opportunities. They spent time in their community, preparing meals and cleaning to support the Senior Dining Program. This provides activities, social opportunities, and dietary support to local seniors. The day was filled with hard work, meaningful conversations, and lots of fun!

Volunteering in the community is an important part of the work we do at STC. Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time!

Congratulations to Connor on his artistic achievement!

Connor was recently chosen to participate in the Fenimore Art Museum’s Young at Art exhibition. He submitted a drawing of himself and his dad in front of their house. Connor was a finalist in the exhibition and enjoyed attending the awards ceremony at the museum.

Connor’s CCM, Emilie Perez, had a chance to visit Connor at school when he began working on this drawing. It was an incredible experience to see him so engaged in his art and to witness his hard work come full circle.
