Grace Cottage’s seventh annual Employee of the Year Award has been presented to Cindy Sweeney, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

Prior to joining the Grace Cottage staff and moving to Townshend in 2003, Cindy lived in Brattleboro for 28 years, where she worked most recently for eight years at Landmark College. She has three grown children and eight grandchildren, all of whom live in New England. One of Cindy’s passions is singing, and she raised her own funds to travel with a group called Highest Call in 1991-92; they stayed with host families and gave concerts in 35 states and two Canadian provinces. “It was an experience I’ll never forget,” she said.

Cindy says that she loves her job at Grace Cottage because her work involves a wide variety of tasks.“I work with a lot of different departments. I’m very comfortable with the people here, and with the mission of Grace Cottage,” she added.
