Kathleen Wolfhope, in Human Resources, whose nominator wrote: "When an employee, who required special accommodations, wanted to attend a Center for Workplace Learning training program, Kathleen Wolfhope researched all options and personally made sure the employee's experience was outstanding. This is Kathleen's way -- to be inclusive and attentive to everyone!"
