"Our people are the foundation of this company and their commitment to our culture and core values sustains the value we deliver to our customers and shareholders every day. It is truly an honor to recognize these exemplary employees for their innovation, achievements and superior performance."
The five winners were chosen from 10 finalists drawn from a group of 21 President's Award winners. The 21 President's Award recipients were selected from 260 Quarterly Leader Award (QLA) recipients, the names of whom were drawn from thousands of nominations submitted by employees. CEO Constellation Award winners each receive a sculptured crystal vase inscribed with their name, a monetary prize and a lifetime of recognition within the company. Awards were presented last week by Mr. Stotlar and his executive leadership team at a special recognition event.
