Celebrating Growth from Within at The Arc Mercer: A Year of Internal Promotions and Expanding Opportunity

At The Arc Mercer, investing in people is at the heart of our mission, not only the individuals we serve, but also the dedicated staff who make our work possible every day. 

This past year, our agency had a remarkable number of internal promotions across departments. In total, 21 employees advanced into new roles, reflecting our deep commitment to professional development and the belief that the best leaders often emerge from within our own team.

These promotions spanned a wide range of programs and each advancement represents more than a title change. Each promotion signifies growth, opportunity, and the confidence we place in our staff to continue shaping the future of The Arc Mercer.

A Culture That Prioritizes Advancement

When our employees grow, our entire organization grows with them. We ensure that every team member has access to a clear and supported career ladder. Training, mentorship, and ongoing professional development are built into every level of our organization so employees can continue building the skills they need to thrive.
