At the Chester County Intermediate Unit, we understand that a little recognition goes a long way. Each month, the CCIU celebrates three to four staff members that exemplify our organization's core values and beliefs. In addition, our Ambassador program also recognizes one staff member as the Ambassador of the month for having the highest engagement and awareness levels on our social media platforms. Congratulations to our Supervisors of the Quarter, December Employees of the month and our December Ambassador of the month! On a quarterly basis, we celebrate leadership staff who are wonderful examples of dynamic leaders who use their insight and talent to help improve the work we do at the CCIU and beyond.
