On September 25, Suffolk County Legislator Stephanie Bontempi (R-18th L.D.) recognized East Northport resident Elaine Lanci, who was nominated as Employee of the Month for the Suffolk County Department of Social Services for the month of May, at the Legislature in Hauppauge. The Employee of the Month program at the Department of Social Services acknowledges the hard work of over 1200 employees each month. A selection committee assists in choosing at least one deserving employee for this recognition.

Lanci, a Casework Assistant in the Family Time Unit, has been with the Department of Social Services’ Family and Children Services Administration (FCSA) since 2009. She supervises visits between parents and children and is highly valued for her experience, dedication, and support to both staff and families. Landi’s ability to foster positive connections, even in challenging situations, has earned her praise from colleagues and the families she serves.

Legislator Bontempi said, “Elaine’s dedication to her work and the families she serves is truly remarkable. She consistently goes above and beyond, making a meaningful difference in the lives of those she helps, and makes her a deserving recipient of this recognition.”
