Today we celebrate and send our well wishes to our Employment Support Services Coordinator Sam!

Sam has been with the DAC since 2019 when she started as a DSP, and in 2021 Sam took over as our Employment Support coordinator. She has been assisting individuals with community employment ever since.

The DAC will not be the same without Sam’s knowledge and leadership, and we have been lucky to work with and learn from her over the last 6 years.

Good luck with everything Sam, don’t forget to come back and visit😘💛

We are so proud of Molly, and of this program she and our DSP’s have built from the ground up. We are lucky to have her! 💛

Molly Talle of Wabasha County DAC in Wabasha, MN has been awarded a DSP Award for Enrichment - Greater MN for her work as community life engagement coordinator. A relatively recent hire, Talle has already made a tremendous impact in her four years of service. Within the last year alone, she has been instrumental developing a new program where service recipients could get out into the community in non-work settings and develop natural supports with community members. “From the first day she was here, she has wanted to jump in and help out wherever she can do so,” remarked Ty Gaedtke, Wabasha County DAC executive director, “Molly has done a phenomenal job at listening to individuals and helping them get into areas of the community that they wanted.” Through her dedication and passion for change, within six months the new program has already surpassed their first year goal, currently serving nearly 30% of their total service. When asked about her inspiration, Talle said that she wanted their service recipients to “not just being in the community, be part of the community…helping [the Wabasha community] experience the disability community is really important.”
