Richard Kall Employee Award of Excellence
In 2000 we lost an inspirational leader and dear friend. The tragic death of Richard Kall, our Chief Operating Officer, left staff, volunteers and consumers feeling a huge sense of loss.
Richard's caring and compassion for others directly influenced many lives. He set high standards for himself and others, always striving for excellence, and it is in this spirit that we established the Richard Kall Memorial Fund and the Richard Kall Employee Award of Excellence.
The award is intended to:
- foster and encourage selflessness, and a strong spirit of giving of oneself;
- encourage employee excellence through self-improvement;
- recognize outstanding customer service, and those who make a significant difference in the lives of those we serve;
- create a mature organization where employees have the courage to challenge the status quo in a caring and compassionate manner.
The recipient is given a commemorative award and a $500 education grant to be applied to any program that furthers his or her professional or educational goals.

- Harold Waterhouse (2009)
