Amari Smith
We're excited to highlight Amari Smith, one of our incredible McCann Tech interns!
"I was interested in interning at BFAIR because it gave me the opportunity to apply my technical skills in a real-world environment while supporting a meaningful mission. I wanted hands-on IT experience that went beyond classroom learning, and this internship allowed me to take on responsibilities I likely wouldn't have been exposed to until much later in my career."
Amari's dedication and willingness to jump in and learn has made a real impact. We're grateful to have her as part of our team!

Emma Lacasse
Meet Emma Lacasse, another amazing intern making a difference at BFAIR!
"When I saw BFAIR as an option for an internship, I was instantly drawn to it. I love the things that BFAIR does for people. I believe that BFAIR's mission is important and can change thousands of lives. I knew I would love to be a part of this, especially because I have family members with disabilities. It is a nice way to educate myself and learn how to help the best I can."
Emma's passion for our mission shines through in everything she does. We're so thankful for her commitment and heart!

Employee of the Quarter: John Fox
Please join us in celebrating John for going above and beyond in his role and truly embodying the BFAIR Way!
In just eight months, John has transformed one of our most medically complex programs. Through dedication, research, and a genuine commitment to learning, he has become a powerful advocate for the individuals he supports.
John sees people for who they are, not their disabilities, and is constantly finding ways to help them live full, independent lives. Whether it's navigating insurance challenges, advocating for essential equipment, or simply refusing to take no for an answer, John always finds a way forward.
He doesn't stop at his own program, either. John has taken the initiative to learn across programs so he can support anyone who needs it, bringing value not just to his team but to BFAIR as a whole. His impact reaches even further through his work identifying ways to improve systems like iCentrix and enhancing staff training to better support new and current employees.
John's passion, innovation, and unwavering commitment make him a true standout. Congratulations, John, we're lucky to have you!
