Shari Rome Rogers - DSP of the Year Nominee

Nominated by Kandi Shafer, Executive Director

Location: ResCare West Virginia - North Central Agency

Years of service: 10

"If we fail to recognize, on our grandest stage, a shining star of consistency and dedication, a person in it for love alone, what message are we sending?"

Quality Support Associate Shari Rome Rogers recently battled breast cancer, stopping in on her own time after chemo treatments to ease the concerns of the individuals she supports who were worried about her health. And once promoted to a supervisor position, she immediately requested a demotion and took a pay cut to be able to work more closely with the individuals she cared about so much. She said that she could have made more money elsewhere but she couldn't have been happier.

"She is a gift of love and more deserving of national recognition than anyone I've ever met."
