“Our tenured team members are the backbone of our team. They possess a vast spectrum of admirable service experience, professionalism, and dedication to safety that have been both instrumental and the keys to their successful, extensive careers,” said Jan Hilliard, Region Manager, Durham School Services. “We are fortunate to have these individuals on our team who can mentor new team members and pass on valuable knowledge to their peers. Moreover, the longevity of these tenured team members’ careers depicts how much they enjoy serving their students and community.
