Press release:

Genesee/Orleans Council on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (GCASA) is very pleased to announce that it has been named one of the Best Companies to Work for in New York State for 2018.

“As a non-profit organization it is often difficult to be competitive with compensation and benefits offered by the for profit sector," GCASA Executive Director John Bennett said. "Here at GCASA, we are always looking to enhance employees’ day to day job satisfaction in meaningful ways.

"Being honored as a best company is the result of servant leaders, a dedicated professional staff and a wonderful board of directors." 

GCASA will be honored at a public awards dinner on April 18 at the Albany Marriott, where it will will learn its rank among the 27 companies in the category for small employers (with 15-99 U.S. employees).

The award is being given by the Best Companies Group, based in Harrisburg, Pa., which uses surveys and other information-gathering tools to (according to its website) “identify and recognize” places of employment that are leading the way in defining the employee experience of the 21st century.

GCASA has been serving Genesee and Orleans Counties for over 40 years.  Services include prevention education and outpatient and residential treatment for individuals with substance use disorders; and an employee assistance program.
