Won Employee Of The Year In 1991 Amongst My
Corporation Of Over 1500 Employees
This was a an award that was given to one employee each year who demonstrated superior excellence and dedication amongst a vast range of measurable statistics as well as voting from superiors, colleagues, and clients. This would then be given to the Employee of The Year at the Black-Tie Affair, attended by all, best known as The Kick-Off Ball. It was kept a complete secret from all until the night of the event at which point I was humbled, honored, and truly flabbergasted to find out I had one that year! Amongst a truly overwhelming ceremony, I was awarded a number of the company's highest honors, a cash prize, and an all inclusive vacation for myself, my husband, and two of my closest friends and colleagues for a two week trip to Key West, Florida where we were wined and dined, put up in the nicest accomodations, and even had the honor of being able to participate in a fully chartered fishing boat with a captain and of course an award winning marlin that we later ate for dinner.
