Associate Logan Eagen recently graduated from the Tampa Connection’s Class of 2023-2024. Tampa Connection is a volunteer-run nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide local business professionals with the necessary tools to become active leaders and volunteers in the Tampa Bay Community. Each year, a select group of applicants are chosen to participate in the Tampa Connection class. The year-long program exposes class members to leadership development, social, and community service opportunities while immersing them in the local community. Logan, along with other members of the Tampa Connection’s “Green Team,” were paired with Quest, Inc., a non-profit organization. Quest, Inc.’s mission is to help people with developmental disabilities experience a full life utilizing a range of services proven to increase capabilities and quality of life. As part of the Green Team’s pairing with Quest, Inc., Logan played an integral part in completing three projects for Quest, Inc. First, the Green Team created a Direct Support Professional guidebook for Quest, Inc.’s new hires that contained a glossary of terminology used, teaching tools, and a training “reference chart.” Second, the Green Team created three unique versions of adaptable recipe books for Quest, Inc.’s culinary classes based on their client’s baseline abilities. Third, the Green Team created an annual calendar of activities and volunteering opportunities for Quest, Inc.’s clients, which involved identifying local activities and opportunities, as well as, scheduling such events. Logan thoroughly enjoyed getting to work with other members of his Tampa Connection’s class and Quest, Inc.’s staff and clients.
