Happy ⁠! It's also time to recognize our McLeod annual team award winners, so today we'd love you to meet Attallah Jenkins, AKA, AJ!⁠
⁠
🏆️ AJ, our Charlotte Residential Program Manager, who just celebrated her one-year anniversary on our staff, is a recipient of our 2026 Roof Raiser Award, which recognizes someone who truly embodies what it means to go above and beyond, for continually raising the roof for our patients, employees, and community.⁠
⁠
✨️Colleagues describe AJ as calm, confident, empathetic, organized, and above all, someone who consistently shows up for the team. ⁠
⁠
✨️AJ has brought greater structure and consistency to our residential program, streamlined processes, found ways to use resources more wisely, and made changes that better serve both our staff and our patients. Leading by example means working alongside the team, advocating for them, listening to them, and never being afraid to step in and get things done. ⁠
⁠
✨️One teammate said: “She is exactly what we needed,” and that captures her impact beautifully.⁠
⁠
🙏 Thank you, AJ, for your commitment to excellence, your incredible impact in such a short time, and your humble style of leadership that radiates kindness on all who interact with you! ⁠

You may know McLeod because of our 57 years of recovery healthcare in North Carolina, but what you might not know is that we are a nonprofit! ⁠
⁠
Our CEO, Christine Zazzaro, took part in 2026 Conference for North Carolina Nonprofits where nonprofit peers, funders, community partners, and changemakers from across North Carolina to explore strategies for navigating change, nurture meaningful connections, and advance opportunities in our communities.⁠
⁠
The work of nonprofits has never been more important – or more complex. In the midst of constant change, nonprofits are being called to lead with resilience, make bold decisions, and find new ways to move their missions forward.⁠

For ⁠ and celebration of McLeod annual team award winners, we'd like to give a shoutout to Chris Melvin!⁠
⁠
🏆️ Chris, our Marion Clinic Program Manager, is a recipient of our 2026 Roof Raiser Award, recognizing someone who truly embodies what it means to go above and beyond, for continually raising the roof for our patients, employees, and community.⁠
⁠
✨️Chris doesn’t just lead from an office, he is present alongside the team, even during difficult circumstances and inclement weather. Whether stepping in to provide coverage so a team member can finally take a much-needed vacation, staying hours after the workday with a patient in crisis, showing up with camera in hand to capture our organization participating in , or even walking a patient home in a wheelchair to make sure they arrived safely, he sees a need and simply steps in to help. ⁠
⁠
🦅 And, in perhaps the most unique example, when an injured hawk was found at the clinic, he coordinated with to get it emergency care and later helped with its release. ⁠
⁠
⁠
🙏 Chris, we are so grateful for your 3 years at McLeod and for showing a consistent pattern of compassion, service, advocacy, and leadership. ⁠
