Today, on Administrative Professionals Day, our team took a few moments to celebrate Tony S., our incredible Office Manager.
Tony is the steady presence that keeps everything running smoothly, from managing mail and supplies, to warmly greeting everyone who walks through our front door. And if you’ve ever admired our front garden, you’ve seen his care and attention there, too. 🌱
We’re so grateful for the many ways Tony brings organization, hospitality, and pride to our space every single day. Our Creative Expressions team made Tony this sign to show their thanks. We appreciate you!

At Via, we love celebrating team members who bring skill, care, and fresh ideas to their work - and Tom S. is a standout example.
Tom was recently recognized by his manager, Megan, for his exceptional organization and leadership during the end‑of‑year inventory for the Borenson account. When the customer visited onsite, she was genuinely impressed by the thoughtful way Tom arranged and streamlined the entire process. Megan shared that the client "repeatedly expressed her appreciation for the exceptional organization and was thrilled at how quickly the process went.”
Tom embodies the Via Value of Shared Ideas, using his experience and creativity to make systems more efficient for everyone involved. His work shows how one person’s initiative can elevate a whole team.
If you’re someone who loves problem‑solving, collaboration, and making a meaningful impact, you’ll fit right in here — just like Tom.

✨ Celebrating Creativity in the Lehigh Valley ✨
For the past six weeks, our Creative Expressions team has been hard at work with Artist in Residence Claire Marcus of ArtsQuest , bringing their favorite Lehigh Valley locations to life using repurposed boxes, cardboard, and other found materials.
Today, we wrapped up this incredible journey with a reception showcasing the final artwork and celebrating the talented individuals behind it. 💛
Program Manager Lauren envisioned a true “tour of the Lehigh Valley,” and with the support of her amazing team - and Claire’s creative guidance - that vision became a reality.
Our artists brainstormed which spaces should be represented and how best to construct them, choosing meaningful places they know and love—some where they volunteer or visit often, including Target , McDonald's and PetSmart . But look closely, and you'll also see SteelStacks, Lehigh Valley IronPigs's Coca Cola Park and our Via building!
Thank you to everyone who made this joyful, imaginative project possible!

For nearly 12 years, Kimm K. has been a steady, caring presence in Via’s Vocational Services Workshop. As an Instructor, Kimm works hands-on with the individuals we support to build practical job skills while completing work for a variety of local companies. From packaging and assembly to packing boxes, she helps ensure tasks are done with care while participants gain confidence, experience, and pride in their work.
What Kimm values most, though, isn’t the work itself - it’s the people. She loves watching participants grow, take pride in having a job, and build meaningful relationships with one another and with the team. As Kimm puts it, “Via makes a difference in people’s lives,” and through her dedication and compassion, she helps make that difference every single day.
