Our September nominees and winner have demonstrated examples of how they were reliable, invested, responsive, adaptable, passionate and/or innovative. Congratulations to our winner and nominees for this month!

 

Alyssa Hall and Anna Jimenez - Nominees

​Their nominator says, "Alyssa Hall and Anna Jimenez both spent part of the Labor Day holiday working to inform customers and consignees of delivery updates. Knowing that there were situations needing to be addressed on the holiday (while the office was closed), both associates committed time to providing support. Alyssa and Anna's dedication to their work is an awesome reflection of their investment to their teams!"

Tonya Easter - Nominee

"​Tonya went out of her way to provide goody bags for the drivers for Driver Appreciation Week. She made each one, filled them and delivered them to us so that we could hand them out to our drivers. Because I directly work with the drivers, I really appreciate the effort she put into making them," says Tonya's nominator.
