The Betty Pendler Award

The Betty Pendler Award is an annual award presented to Community Options employees or others whose dedication and work exemplify Community Options’ mission!

Jessica Guberman, Ph.D., Executive Director of Community Options Enterprises / National Public Relations was presented with the prestigious Betty Pendler Award at the annual Community Options Board of Directors meeting held May 22, 2010 at the soon to be opened Just Add Water.

Just Add Water is a social enterprise that Jessica has been preparing to open in mid June. As you can see from the photos below the renovations are absolutely beautiful. I would also note that Jessica personally set up the room for the meeting (with flowers from Vaseful, of course)! This rolling-up-her-sleeves approach to management is one of the many reasons she is so respected by her staff as well as the obvious choice for this award!
