Sep 16 2019 TeamChallenger Conference & Employee Appreciation

 

CEO John ChallengerChallenger showed appreciation to all employees by chartering a boat for an afternoon on Lake Michigan! Numerous awards were given out to our coaches by our SVP Penny Hawley, as well as John Wirkes, Patricia Novotny, Bill Zawaski, Lauren Loranger, Juan Montalvo, and Bob Hepding, for hard work, improvement, and client satisfaction.


This year, Challenger introduced the Toni Pittman Peer Award, a recognition for the values our colleague Toni Pittman most embodied. Toni was a long-time Challenger coach who gave all who knew and worked with her support, guidance, and expert advice. We will continue to honor her work and memory through this award.

We asked each coach to nominate someone that they most trust and respect, and is a go-to person for professional advice and support. This year’s winner is Paul Weldin. Paul also won an Award for Special Initiatives.
