Collingwood Neighbourhood House (CNH) proudly recognizes its long-serving staff members. At each year’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), CNH staff and contractors who have reached the milestones of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 years of service to the neighbourhood house were thanked by the Board of Directors.
This year, we recognize and celebrate Elisa Casilla for 15 years of service. Here’s what Kulwant Kaur, Director of Operations, had to say about Elisa:
I have had the privilege to work with Elisa for the past 16 years.
Elisa first joined CNH in 2007 as a casual accounting assistant and learned the work very quickly. In 2008, she was hired as a temporary accounting assistant. Elisa worked diligently and was promoted to payroll and benefits manager in 2010. She is very hardworking, extremely trustworthy, very dedicated and does not hesitate to help other staff even if she is extremely busy with very tight deadlines. If you know Elisa well, she is calm and has a good sense of humour but can get very serious, too, especially if it is about payroll. Elisa takes her responsibilities very seriously. There is a funny quote when new staff are introduced to Elisa, their supervisor would say to be nice to her as she does payroll.
Elisa says she has enjoyed working at CNH for all these years because of its family-oriented and flexible work environment. Her daughter even attended our school-age child care program at Graham Bruce and is now in university. Time flies so fast.
Thank you, Elisa, for all your contribution. CNH is very lucky to have you all these years!
