Pillar of Character Awards 2008-09
CHARACTER COUNTS! awarded six exceptional
community members with Employee Pillar of Character Awards.
Each year, colleagues and employers
nominate unsung heroes of the workplace who exemplify the Six
Pillars of Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility,
Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.
"CHARACTER COUNTS! established this awards
program five years ago for workers who set good examples
regularly," 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. These
awards help to fill that void."

from a variety of businesses, schools and nonprofit agencies for
this year's Employee Pillar of Character Awards.
