🎉 Celebrating 3 Years of Rachel Arnao at EMS! 🎉

Today, we’re proud to recognize Rachel Arnao and celebrate three years of dedication, care, and meaningful contributions to the EMS community.

Rachel brings more than 15 years of transportation-industry experience and over a decade of administrative leadership to her work. From executive search to supporting executive leadership, she understands that every role matters—and that the work each person does contributes to a larger shared purpose.

But what makes Rachel especially valuable to EMS is her heart for people. She builds genuine connections, encourages those she serves, and approaches every interaction with the belief that people deserve to feel supported, seen, and rooted for.

Rachel, thank you for the professionalism, perspective, compassion, and commitment you bring to EMS each day. We are grateful for the tangible difference you make in our community and for all you do to help others succeed.

Please join us in congratulating Rachel on her 3-year EMS anniversary! 💙

Today marks 14 years since Employment Means Success (EMS) was incorporated on August 10, 2012.

What began with a commitment to expanding opportunity has grown through the dedication of our team, partners, supporters, and — most importantly — the people and communities we serve.

This photo from our recent Superhero Gala is a reminder: meaningful work is never done alone. We’re grateful for everyone who has been part of the EMS story so far— and energized for what comes next.

Here’s to continuing to create pathways to employment, stability, and success. 💙

This is what community looks like.

As we count down — just 2 days (!) — to the EMS Gala, our friends and supporters are out in the neighborhood, securing silent auction donations that will fuel our work in the months ahead. This quick clip is a small window into the big heart behind EMS.

If you’re planning to attend, thank you.
If you’re still on the fence, this is your invitation: come celebrate, give, and help us write the next chapter of EMS together.

We don’t talk enough about what it actually takes to bring a night like Superheroes Unite to life.

It’s easy to see the room, the energy, the stories, but behind it are partners who quietly say “yes” before anyone else does.

This year, we’re especially grateful for a group of sponsors who showed up not just with resources, but with belief in the mission:

Nicholas & Associates (Mark Nichols)

Yard House (Jeff, Manager)

Brio (Francisco)

King’s Fish House

Euro Cafe

These are the kinds of partners who understand that impact is built in the details—meals shared, spaces created, moments made possible.

At EMS, we believe transformation happens in environments where people feel seen, supported, and valued. Our sponsors helped create exactly that.

To each of you: thank you for standing with us and for investing in something bigger than yourselves.
