We are excited to announce that Arena Guzman has been selected as our Employee of the Month for August 2026!

Arena has worked as a Direct Support Professional in our Gibson Residential Department since January 2026, and in that time, she has truly stepped up and shown what teamwork and dedication look like. She has worked very early mornings, covered medical appointments when needed, and always does it all with a smile on her face. Her willingness to help wherever she’s needed has made a real difference across our programs.

Her coworkers describe her as a treasure—someone who brings positivity and reliability to every shift. One home manager said, “Arena is the bomb! She’ll work whenever you want her to.” That kind of spirit and commitment embodies the best of The Arc Southwest Indiana.

Please join me in congratulating Arena on this well deserved recognition and in thanking her for all she does to support our participants and our team.
