North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC) President and Chief Executive Officer Don Patrick has announced the hiring of Tesha Rader of Lake St. Louis as the agency’s Warren County receptionist.

NECAC is a 12-county area not-for-profit social service, community health and public housing Community Action Agency headquartered in Bowling Green that contracts with federal, state and local governments, private businesses and other not-for profit organizations to operate and administer self-sufficiency service programs for the low-income, elderly, youth, disabled and disadvantaged population.

Working under the direction and providing assistance to NECAC Warren County Service Coordinator Desiree Antoniou, Rader will answer client questions about agency programs and coordinate referrals from the Warren County Service Center at 120 E. Main in Warrenton.

“We welcome Tesha to the NECAC team,” Patrick said. “Her background will help her relate well to clients.”

“Tesha is filling a needed role in the NECAC Warren County Service Center, and will be an asset in assisting clients,” Antoniou said.

“I like working at NECAC because I enjoy helping others to be the best they can be in life,” Rader said. “We all have down moments that we go through, so if I can help someone turn that frown upside down and encourage them, then that’s a win for me.”

Rader is a 1996 graduate of Warrenton High School and has taken college courses. She was a middle school paraprofessional for five years and worked with students and parents.
