We are excited to celebrate Cedar Kaplenk, APC at Rolf Hansen as our Employee of the Year.
When it comes to job performance, promotion of health and safety, demonstrating a positive attitude, maintaining positive relationships, possessing leadership qualities, and dependability, Cedar Kaplenk, APC at Rolf Hansen rises to the top. Benco is proud to announce Cedar as Benco’s 2023 Employee of the Year.
Cedar has a way of being clear, supportive, responsive, and empowering. Throughout the 2023 year, he stepped up in ways that went well beyond expectations. Beyond his support to the residents of RHA, he learned quickly and took on many pieces of program management as a whole. Through consistent actions, Cedar has shown that he believes in the right for the people supported to experience life to the fullest – even if that looks messy, risky, or different, and even if that creates more challenges for him. He shows up during extremely hard times and makes things work that no one else could.
Cedar has been willing to sit in on any meeting, initiate conversations with legal representatives, and provide clear guidance and advocacy around important issues. His technical support and trip planning skills have not only been an asset to those supported at Rolf Hansen but have extended to the RHA team, family members, and outside agencies.
Cedar uses solution-oriented thinking and always takes the time to show that what is important to others is important to him. This has inspired everyone who works alongside Cedar and demonstrates his commitment to Benco’s values and motto of “Caring Without Limits.”
