🎉 Celebrating 16 years with CBS Inc.!

A big congratulations to Anh on her 16-year work anniversary!

As Finance Officer in our Operations team, Anh helps keep our bills paid and our finances in order. When she first joined CBS Inc., the role came with plenty of challenges, but she took it all in her stride and made it her own.

Thank you, Anh, for so many years of reliable, dedicated work. Your support means so much to our staff and the people with disabilities we support. You have been a key part of our success story.

Happy 16th birthday at CBS Inc.! We love having you on the team. Have a wonderful day, and thank you for everything you do! 💙
