Sally Mills has contributed immeasurable efforts to Progress and the disability community over the course of her career as Director of Fiscal Services for 20 years. Sally knows the finances of Progress inside and out; but she also knows the client’s passions, the staff’s families, and the best way to plant the flowers around the memorial patio on campus. She is the epitome of someone who “gets their hands dirty,” both literally and figuratively, and over the years has devoted her life to the betterment of those around her.
Volunteer Christy Jackson has been integral to the first year of SmART! Supplies, and her efforts have benefited both customers as well as the clients who participate in job training and employment at SmART!. Christy organizes the sales floor, arranges displays of new items, sorts and processes the thousands of donations that arrive on a weekly basis, and assists staff with pricing, tagging, and customer service. She is truly a renaissance woman.
Progress congratulates both women on their achievements, and is thankful for all that they do to support people with intellectual disabilities and seniors.
