Shoutout to BCBDD Residential Options Coordinator, Christy Ross, for being nominated for this month's Employee Spotlight!

SSA Cassie Ring Murray said she truly appreciates Christy's availability and teamwork.

"As the Residential Coordinator, Christy partners with SSAs across our department every day to individualize the residential placement process for our individuals," Cassie said. "Christy keeps her finger on the pulse of residential opportunities across the entire state, maintains contacts with agency partners, and actively makes referrals. She keeps dozens and dozens of plates spinning at once but is always cool and composed, friendly and helpful. I have several residential placements that I am seeking, and Christy has been extremely helpful. She is always willing to speak with a parent, meet with teams, and brainstorm our best approach!"

Thank you, Christy, for being such an important part of the BCBDD!
