Haverhill, MA (March 11, 2022)- Good things are worth the wait. More than 50 Northern Essex employees and retirees were honored for their years of service at the recent Employee Service Recognition Luncheon. Honorees reached their professional milestones in 2021, but the ceremony was delayed a year so that it could be held safely, in person. “You could really feel the energy and appreciation in the room. You can’t get that over Zoom,” said NECC Executive Director of Human Resources Patty Gauron.

The ceremony started with Northern Essex President Lane Glenn, himself a 15-year honoree, asking those in attendance to share with each other something they are thankful for, and something they are hopeful for. Glenn said “I’m thankful for a return to somewhat normalcy. And I’m hopeful we will emerge in a better way.”

Employees were then honored for their years of service. Each received a gift bag, while retirees received a clock engraved with the number of years of their service and their names.
