The leadership of CJE SeniorLife recognized three Employees of the Year – Stella Didier of Chicago, Sharon Dornberg-Lee of Chicago and Andrea Lebovits of Chicago – at the organization’s 40th Annual Meeting, held Oct. 11, at the Weinberg Community for Senior Living in Deerfield. Nominated by their peers, Employees of the Year candidates represent those individuals who exemplify CJE’s core values of respect, advocacy, compassion, intention, innovation and accountability.

CJE Employees of the Year:

• Stella Didier, of Chicago, has been with CJE SeniorLife for 17 years, working as a Registered Nurse at CJE’s Lieberman Center for Health and Rehabilitation in Skokie since 1995.

• Sharon Dornberg-Lee, of Chicago, has worked at CJE SeniorLife for 15 years as a social worker since 1997, and works out of the Bernard Horwich Building in West Rogers Park.

“Our employees are the heart and soul of the organization. I must acknowledge all 710 CJE staff members who do our collective magic every day,” said CJE SeniorLife President/CEO Mark Weiner. “Without the dedication of our outstanding staff members like Sharon, Stella and Andrea, we would never be able to reach out to the thousands of residents, families and community members who rely on us daily for vital services and programs.”
