2015 Achievement Award Nominations Unveiled
For the 23rd year, Hobee’s employees cast their votes for the co-workers who most distinguished themselves during the prior year. Lots of inspiring comments accompanied the ballots. In the end, our blue ribbon committee had to choose winners (always a very difficult task!) for the Hobee’s Achievement Awards. During the next few months, we’ll be tracking down the winners and finalists in each category to surprise them with certificates, gourmet baskets and gift cards. Updates and photos will also be posted on Facebook and Twitter. (So make sure you’re following us!) For a full listing of winners since 1993, click here.
In the meantime, on behalf of the Hobee’s Achievement Awards Committee, congratulations to the following:
