A massive congratulations to Cheryl Ann Watson (third from left).

Recently, Cheryl Ann was recognized at the Ohio Provider Resource Association (OPRA) Luncheon and Awards Ceremony, winning the prestigious Direct Support Professional Award.

For nearly seven years on our Work & Community Services team, Cheryl Ann has demonstrated unwavering devotion and high-quality support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The award specifically highlights her innovative spirit:

Cheryl Ann implemented a creative solution during the pandemic by teaching participants to sew masks, which ensured their safety and allowed them to continue earning a wage. She also dedicates her time to teaching essential reading and skills to help participants pursue their GED.

We are incredibly proud to have her on the Goodwill Columbus team!
