This month we recognize Everett McElveen, president and CEO of Life'sWork, as the September Dignity & Respect Champion of Greater Pittsburgh.

Life'sWork is a nonprofit organization that provides opportunity, employment, and independence to individuals with disabilities and other barriers to employment. Life'sWork began in 1927 and assists more than 2,000 individuals each year.

Everett, who lives in Ohio Township with his wife, has been with Life'sWork for seven years.  He said his job frequently reminds him how blessed he is. He feels that it is important for able-bodied and able-minded people to be grateful for what they have.  He also believes that treating others with dignity and respect is important to our daily lives because we are all one and the same.
