Sara Godinez: Sandra Shaw Spirit Award recipient

Congratulations, Sara Godinez, the 2020 recipient of the Sandra Shaw Spirit Award, the highest award a Bert Nash Center staff member can receive. The presentation was conducted during a virtual all-staff meeting in September. She was joined by her husband, Mike, and their son, Alex.

“There have been lots of highs and lots of lows this past year and lots of anxiety and stress. But there have been plenty of high points and one thing for sure, this pandemic has made me very grateful for the things I do have in my life.

Unquestionably, one of the things I’m grateful for is the honor of working here at Bert Nash,” Sara said.

“I am very in awe of the members of the Spirit Committee; they have all been an inspiration in some way for me. I hope in some small way the work that I do here is making a difference, for

you, for our clients, for our agency, for the community. So it is an honor to be among this great group of people,” Sara said. “I think in these dark times that celebrations are more important than ever. I feel like I am kind of accepting this on behalf of everyone because I see how hard everyone is working. I see your dedication and your commitment to your clients and to the people that you work with. That’s what makes Bert Nash such a great place to come to every day. So be sure to celebrate yourselves and to celebrate each other, because this is an amazing place.”
