Lincoln Families Celebrates our Superstar Staff!
Lincoln staff gathered together on March 19th at the Terrace Room overlooking Oakland's Lake Merritt to celebrate our many collective accomplishments. This annual event gives our professional community the chance to celebrate, feast, and honor the tireless efforts of individual staff and program teams. 12 awards were given out for Principles of Care, Values, and Outstanding Leadership. Additionally, we honored many 5 and 10 year anniversaries! Clinical Director Ellen Kinoy was honored for an amazing 25 years of service to Lincoln!
Lincoln knows that our mission to disrupt cycles of poverty and trauma is only accomplished through the dedication of our diverse, unique, and extraordinary staff. Thus, gathering together as a vibrant, mission-driven community made for a truly magical evening!
