June Service Award

At Nashua Center, we are fortunate to have dedicated team members who go above and beyond to support the individuals we serve. Our Service Award recognizes employees whose compassion, commitment, and positive impact help strengthen our programs and enrich the lives of others.

We are pleased to recognize Ries Grondstra for the difference he makes each day.

From the moment he joined Nashua Center, Ries has demonstrated a strong work ethic, a willingness to learn, and a genuine desire to help others. He is dependable, hardworking, and always willing to go beyond his day-to-day responsibilities to support his clients, coworkers, and the organization as a whole.

What truly sets Ries apart is the care he brings to his work. He takes the time to get to know each individual he supports, building genuine relationships based on trust, patience, and respect. He has developed a special connection with his client by investing the time to understand their unique needs, interests, and goals. His kindness, flexibility, and person-centered approach help those he supports feel valued and understood.

Ries is someone who consistently puts the needs of others before his own. He gets along well with everyone, approaches challenges with a positive attitude, and is always ready to lend a helping hand. His peers appreciate his support, and the individuals we serve benefit from the authentic connections he creates every day.

Thank you, Ries, for the dedication, compassion, and heart you bring to Nashua Center.

We are grateful for all that you do and proud to recognize your contributions through this Service Award.
