KSI Names Gerri Cassidy Staff Of The Month 

Kent-Sussex Industries, Inc. (KSI) named Gerri Cassidy, of Rehoboth Beach, staff of the month for September 2006.  She was recently recognized during a ceremony at KSI. 

Mrs. Cassidy, a Program Manager, employed with KSI since September 2005, was recognized for her commitment to KSI’s mission and the people KSI serves.  According to her supervisors, Mrs. Cassidy is professional, committed, enthusiastic and full of energy. In September 2006, when KSI had an opportunity to place a community based work crew at Playtex Products, Mrs. Cassidy aggressively volunteered to be a Program Manager for the individuals who would be leaving KSI’s Milford based facility for a new job at Playtex Products in Dover. She strives to help each individual reach their optimal level of employment.  As employee of the month, Mrs. Cassidy becomes eligible to be selected as employee of the year. 

KSI is a not for profit agency, providing vocational training and employment services to individuals with disabilities throughout Kent and Sussex Counties.  KSI is committed to making all reasonable accommodations in order to ensure that our programs and services are as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. To learn more about KSI call Alicia Hollis, Director of Community Relations, at (302) 422-4014 ext. 3015 to schedule a tour.
