REM Iowa Direct Support Professionals Chosen as DSP of the Day by The MENTOR Network
REM Iowa and The MENTOR Network value our Direct Support Professionals and others in direct support for their dedication to those we serve and their critical role in carrying out our mission every day. We are proud to celebrate our DSPs and other employees in a direct support role throughout the month of September.
Throughout the month of September, The MENTOR Network is honoring direct support staff members through the DSP of the Day campaign, which recognizes a different direct support staff member each day for their outstanding service. DSPs from REM Iowa are among those chosen as the DSP of the Day this year. Congratulations to each of these team members, and thank you for your commitment to the individuals we serve!

“I enjoy working in a direct support role because it is an extremely rewarding experience. Being able to see the happiness on our individuals’ faces when they achieve a goal makes this position extremely enjoyable as well. Knowing that you were a part of that happiness being possible by working on their daily goals with them, among other day to day tasks, gives a sense of fulfillment that I would not be able to acquire anywhere else.”

“The individuals I serve know I’m here to take good care of them because I not only tell them, but I show them.”
