Farewell Benjamin

AIRES has many great staff.  We are always sad to lose good people but understand when opportunities come someone’s way.  Recently we had a DSP in Tucson resign as he will be attending college in Massachusetts.  Benjamin Salzman submitted a very touching resignation letter.  It included how AIRES and the people he supported at AIRES have influenced him.  Benjamin, we all wish you the best!  We know you will go far in life.  Stay in touch.   Thank you for the passion, mutual respect, accountability and teaching you have done.  
Dear Trevor Bryson,
I was recently granted the opportunity to attend college in Massachusetts.  As a result, I am tendering my resignation from AIRES LLC effective July 15, 2016.  I wanted to make sure that I gave you and the AIRES team enough notice so that there was enough time for you all to find staff to take my shifts.  (Detailed shift)
I am grateful for having had the opportunity to serve our clients for the past year.  This job has truly been the most rewarding experience I have had.  The clients I have been so lucky to serve, both at Emily and other houses, have taught me so much about myself and what I would like to do with my life.  Since working for AIRES LLC, I have been able to pay for my first apartment, received my first car, gone back to school, and been able to do well enough academically to receive several scholarship offers.  This job has given me a newfound sense of success and self-confidence that had been lost on me.  
The thought of no longer seeing the clients of Emily House on a daily basis truly makes me want to cry.  They have become like my children.  Working with the developmentally disabled has helped me to feel more confident, responsible and driven.  The consumers have inspired me to always try harder, and to remove myself from the equation.
I will never forget my time here at AIRES and I offer my best wishes for the continued success of the company and the clients it serves.
