Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) at EPI are of the highest quality. They work hard, have passion for their work and are strong advocates for the individuals we serve.
It’s because of that hard work and passion that EPI created the 5 Star Club to recognize outstanding DSPs.
DSPs work as in-home support workers, personal assistants and attendants to ensure people with disabilities are able to live independently in communities of
their choosing.
Although the 5 Star Club is still fairly new, we have received many nominations from peers and three DSPs have been selected to join the club.
The first to receive the award was Roger Konseiga in November. His nomination stated, “ (Roger) supports individuals in a way that pushes for independence in everyday community tasks allowing an individual to be far more integrated.
Roger’s positive relationships allow him to motivate individuals to strive for a high quality of life.” Roger has been with EPI since 2005.
Cherish Moschke, a DSP with EPI for over four years, was next, joining the club in December. Cherish’s nomination had plenty of great things to say about her, “Cherish was a strong advocate for a person served in achieving their personal goal of living in their own apartment. She worked side by side with this person and always encouraged them to overcome obstacles.”
Our most recent member of the 5 Star Club is Tamara Beckham, chosen in January. Tamara has been with EPI since 2011. Here is a little about why Tammy was selected.
“Tammy is respectful when interacting with persons served; she maintains a wonderful relationship with those she supports. She actively seeks means to assist persons served with accomplishing goals and overcoming barriers.”
Congratulations to our current club members. We can’t wait to see who joins the ranks this year!
