Congratulations to our August Employees of The Month - Bianca Jones-Johnson (Mail/Property Department Officer, pic. left) and Sam Hawes (Resident Complaint Coordinator, not pictured)!! 🏆

"Officer Jones-Johnson was taking inventory of a resident's property and discovered a Suboxone pack that he attempted to hide in a cut-a-way section of his wallet. Her keen observation skills and the knowledge that she brings from working here previously and in DOC has helped the Mail/Property department
tremendously."

"Ms. Hawes continues to work with Residents by listening, reading and speaking to them concerning their complaints either by GTL or correspondence. She interacts directly with members of the departments that Residents seem to find themselves in disagreement with. Ms. Hawes acts as a fact finder, and then only makes correct and sound judgement with the outcome of the Residents complaint. This takes an extreme amount of time to handle a complaint, but it gives the time back to the department to focus on their objectives. Ms. Hawes deals directly with the Resident Advocate as well as the Office of the Inspector General."

Keep up the good work you two! 👏🏾🥇

Congratulations to Facility Manager Quentin Thompson (pic. right) for being nominated as our second July Employee of the Month! 👏🏾🔥

"...Ms. Eddy and I have had communications wishing this process could be implemented within all the departments. This process has assisted the Timekeepers tremendously and when HRIS is down it provides the needed documentation to process an employee's time." - Mr. J. Oliver

"I have only been helping out the last 2 weeks – but your process is working wonderfully. Thank you for the hard work – timekeeping and payroll really appreciate it!" - Ms. A. Eddy

Congratulations to ERT Brandon Lee (pic. left) for being nominated as one of our July Employees of the Month! 👏🏾🏆

"Brandon Lee has been with VCBR for approximately 11 years. He began his journey as a RSA and is now a member of the ERT. I had the pleasure of working alongside Mr. Lee for 6 years and throughout that time, he exemplified punctuality, strong work ethic, and positive influences to his teammates. I would like to nominate Lee for this achievement because he was a helping hand to the Recreation Department over the June 2025 Quarter Break. Brandon often volunteers to assist with maintaining the safety and security of all activities scheduled and I do believe that his contributions to VCBR has significantly benefited us all over the years. He often offers support to other departments with his problem-solving skills and positive attitude. Brandon is always willing to lend a helping hand, share knowledge, and contribute to a positive and productive work environment. We appreciate all that you do Lee. Keep up the good work!" - Ms. T. Barnett
