Testament to the teamwork and dedication of Utopia Connecticut, Todd noted that there has been an increase of over 1 million service hours since the last meeting held in 2011! The office consolidations executed this year positioned us well for industry changes.
Brent expounded on the benefits of blending our circles inside and outside of Utopia. When field and office staff alike refer friends and family, the Utopia family is strengthened and grows.
Aide of the Year and Servicer of the Year awards and gift checks were presented to honorees Sophia Sebastian of New London, Eva Newell of Bridgeport, Lisa Gary from Towers in New Haven and Elise Kyder. Each was recognized and spoke about their experiences as caregivers.
