Congratulations Colleagues! Not just to those who received awards, but to all. You’re all a part of this big beautiful American Training family.
On Friday, our Colleagues took a well-deserved stroll down the red carpet at our annual Colleague Recognition Awards. This year, the event was held at the Indian Ridge Country Club on November 20. The Hollywood-themed WOW! Magic evening featured awards galore, a delicious meal, music and dancing by NRG Entertainment, and great company!
To kick off the night, we handed out Swag Bags filled with ATI swag and items donated by Enterprise Bank, Stoneham Ford, Neighborhood Health Plan, BBS Benefits, Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare, and MetLife. And we ended the evening, handing out raffle prizes of various gift cards, donated by Carol Reebenacker of Agera Energy.
But it was what was in the middle of all of that which mattered most. Between the swag bags and raffle prizes, we handed out awards; Years of Service Awards to those at milestone years, Starfish Awards to those nominated by their peers, and WOWzer! awards to those nominated by our President and CEO Tom Connors.
Though we’re still holding a few secrets, the names of the Starfish and WOWzer! award recipients who could not attend, you can check the incomplete list of the very deserving 2015 WOWzers! and Starfish below.
WOWzers!
The recipients of the WOWzer! Awards are hand-picked for the honor by President and CEO Tom Connors. These select few are chosen for their commitment to going above and beyond in their positions. These people have years of experience and dedication proving just how committed they are to delivering WOW! Magic, not only to those we serve, but to anyone and everyone we work with as well. WOWzer! winners exemplify the Mission and Values of American Training and are fundamental in bringing them to every aspect of the organization.
