Spectrum Services Staff Selects Fifth Annual Ruby Rose Award Winner

The ballots are in and the winner of the fifth annual Ruby Rose Award is … Family
Service Coordinator Melissa Signor! With 15 worthy nominees for this year’s award it
was a competitive field, but her colleagues identified her stand out performance
  and bestowed the 2009 – 2010 award on Melissa.

Established in 2005 by Spectrum Services parents Bernardo and Barbara Mongil
as a way for staff to recognize their coworkers and named for the Mongils’ daughter,
the Ruby Rose Award is a very special honor. Each year, staff nominate colleagues
who have shown exceptional skill and commitment and an award winner is selected from
the nominees by committee. In addition to recognition on a plaque in the lobby,
winners also receive a gift of $500.

With 22 years of service at the Center for Spectrum Services Melissa was a
natural pick amongst staff. “It is such a tremendous honor to receive the Ruby Rose
Award from my dedicated and talented colleagues. The award is especially meaningful
to me as I had the privilege of working with Ruby Rose and her amazing family for
several years,” says Melissa.
