October 2026 Honoree
We are proud to recognize Tiffany Johnson, Development Foundation Financial Officer, as this October's Northeast Way Award recipient. This award honors employees who go above and beyond to support our students, colleagues, and the Northeast community—and Tiffany does exactly that. Her commitment to Northeast doesn’t stop when the workday ends. One community member shared a moment that perfectly captures Tiffany’s dedication: “I witnessed Tiffany sit with a NEMCC student at her son’s high school basketball game and explain courses and scholarship opportunities.” Her support also extends to her colleagues. Tiffany is known for continually celebrating the expertise of Northeast employees and offering her assistance, even when a question falls outside her own job description. She encourages students to apply for scholarships, work hard, and make the most of their time at Northeast. As her nominator shared, “She never bats an eye to lend a helping hand when it comes to NEMCC.” After years of serving Northeast and its students, Tiffany’s passion remains evident. “She is one of the most hard working, kind, intelligent, patient, and Christian-like women you will ever meet. She has dedicated many years to NEMCC and its students and loves every day of it.” Congratulations, Tiffany Johnson, on being named as a Northeast Way Award recipient. Your kindness, dedication, and unwavering support for Northeast and its students make a difference every day.
