Veterans Advisory Panel 2024 Patriot Award

In 2024, when our annual event coordinator unexpectedly stepped down just two months before the scheduled event, I stepped into the leadership role alongside my team to ensure the event’s success. Through strategic planning, clear communication, and collaborative execution, we delivered a meaningful and well-organized annual gathering for over 250 veterans across the company. In recognition of stepping up to fill a critical gap and ensuring the continuity of this important tradition, I was honored with an internal award for leadership and service.
