Sieda Community Action acknowledged sixteen staff members with awards denoting years of service. Sieda would like to respectively mention the staff members who have been employed at Sieda for 30 years, 20 years, 15 years, 10 years, and 5 years. We are thankful for their many years of hard work and service to our counties.

Sieda Community Action values the work of all employees and truly appreciates the contributions our staff make to the organization and the communities we serve. Service awards are not simply a reward for “sticking it out,” they are the recognition of staff who have committed their time and energy to ensure that Sieda Community Action truly makes a difference in the lives of our clients. Without this commitment, we would not be the greatest non‐profit in Southeast Iowa.

Thank you for your service and dedication to Sieda Community Action!
