Congratulations to Brigit Hargis & Emily Phillips our November CEO Stars

As know, CEO had the opportunity this year to once again continue our long-time Thanksgiving collaboration with Unity House and also take part in the new Thanksgiving efforts of the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern NY. The distribution location is the 6^th Ave parking lot directly across from Unity House near the intersection of Hoosick Street. This site will be distributing 600 Thanksgiving meal packages, along with 75 prepared meals. It’s going to be a huge volunteer effort, and while we have a number of community partners and board members signed up to help, we wanted to extend that to staff too.

We know it’s a busy time of year, but if you are interested and able to volunteer for a few hours please sign up through the below registration form. The event organizers are seeking help between  7:30am-3:30pm, but staff can sign up for two hour increments. Due to the nature of this event, all volunteers must be 18+ years old and capable of lifting. Thank you!

As you are aware all staff are required to complete sexual harassment training on an annual basis. CEO will be utilizing the New York State Sexual Harassment training this year since we no longer have access to the training platform we have used in the past.

The Sexual Harassment training video link is below. All CEO staff are required to complete the training independently and complete the below answer sheet while you watch the video. The training should take about 50 minutes and should be taken during your scheduled workday.  The attached answer sheet needs to be completed and filled out as this will be proof of training completion. All training needs to be completed, and forms submitted to HR by December 11, 2024.

Please click on the link below to start your training. The attached form needs to be completed and sent to HR after the training is completed.

In order to help organize the collection process of the forms we are asking that all Early Childhood Services  staff submit their completed forms to their center and site managers for review and then Managers will submit the completed forms to CEOHR@ceoempowers.org. All other staff should send their completed training form to CEOHR@ceoempowers.org.

As always if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out.
