Pillar of Character Awards 2009-10
CHARACTER COUNTS! recently
recognized six outstanding employees in Martin
County with a Employee Pillar of Character
award.
For the sixth straight year,
colleagues and employers nominated unsung heroes of
the workplace for exemplifying the Six Pillars of
Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility,
Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.
“CHARACTER COUNTS! established
this awards program for employees who consistently
set good examples,” CHARACTER COUNTS! Director Holly
Laiben said.
“Many employees have strong
work ethics and go above and beyond their job
description on a daily basis without expecting or
receiving adequate recognition and these awards help
fill that void.”
Fourteen nominations from the
private, public, governmental and nonprofit business
community were received this year. A gift package,
sponsored by The Firefly Group, and certificate of
appreciation were presented the week of Dec. 7 to
each award recipient at their place of business.

Character award winners are:
|
