Jim Hoyt Receives Blesher for His Ingenuity



 
On November 28th, Jim Hoyt, Operations Manager at RFI received a Blesher award.  He was nominated for this award by Ailisa Boyer who cited Jim’s creativity and hard work in developing a tool that was used at a transition services event held at Sidney High School.  Several service organizations including The Arc of Delaware County (Delarc), had information booths at this event. Ailisa wanted something to bring to the event that would highlight the fact that at Delarc, transition services is all about the personal approach to helping people achieve their individual goals. She said, “Jim’s construction helped give Delarc an edge when presenting to the community in an interesting way. Jim worked on this on his own free time at home. “
It was apparent that the “Wheel of Future” created by Jim had much thought put into its design.  “The wheel construction was effective, creative, and easy to work with” Ailisa wrote in her nomination. Jim also created a template that could be used by other departments within the agency.
Jim’s dedicated efforts at creating the “Wheel of Future” exemplify the 6 unifying principles of The Arc of Delaware County:
  • Those We Serve Come First
  • Commit To Excellence
  • Be Dedicated
  • Employee Satisfaction
  • Communicate Effectively
  • Be Innovative
Congratulations Jim!
