Annie has been recognized again as being Pacific Group's top leader. That makes 2 out of the last 4 weeks for Annie, who has been on a tear as of late.

She keeps me motivated to say the least," stated Chris Rogers, who was actually responsible for Annie's training several months ago when she joined the team. Chris added, "Whether she is helping a customer, running a group workshop, or shooting some pool at team night, Annie will be bring her A game"

Our spotlight for this week is Chris Rogers. Chris has set the pace from the very beginning, literally, as he and Michelle are the only 2 team members that have been with the company since its inception in May of 2011. Chris is on the brink of a Strategic Manager promotion, and we are very excited to recognize him as the leader of the week. "We are so used to Chris doing all the right things, he frequently doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He is very dependable and somebody we can all all count on" says Michelle Hamrick. She added "Chris embodies what we stand for here at Pacific Group. He has become a great business associate and better friend, and I look forward to many more years as we grow the business." Keep it up Chris, we look forward to you joining future events with the Management Team!

Spotlight Eddie!

Props go out to Eddie for being recognized once again by his peers as being a pacesetter in the office. Eddie's performance over the past month has been very impressive. Some of his accomplishments include being the pacesetter in sales performance, top trainer, winner of our Bowling competition,  and the only team member to participate in both of our optional holiday work days. Known for his witty sense of humor and southern charm, some of his accomplishments go unnoticed at times. "Eddie is such an awesome leader in the company. He is quiet yet very dependable in getting all his tasks accomplished. I don't think people realize how competitive he is. He approaches each day with a high level of intensity which is a big reason for his success in the company" boasted president Carl Uhl. Eddie's peer Elaine Abundis added "Eddie's representation of the company over the holiday season was flawless" when she nominated Eddie for being the Leader of the Week. "He's somebody we can always depend on."

Way to go Eddie. Management is around the corner!

We have another first timer! Amanda Jamison has been selected as the top leader based on her recent performance. She has really impressed everybody on the team with her tremendous student mentality. She tied the company record for completing our training program (less than 2 weeks), and has not looked back since. "The fact that she completed training so quickly really shows how much she cares and how hard she works, and it seems that she works harder now as a trainer than she did as a trainee," said Chris Rogers in regards to Amanda's work ethic. Amanda has already taken on training responsibilities in only her 4th week in the company.

Way to go Amanda! You are such a great example of our the hard work and entrepreneurial spirit we value here!

Don't mess with the Banana Slug! PGA announces UC Santa Cruz alumni Richard Lee has been voted as this week's Leader of the Week by his peers. Richard was actually a part of PGA's original hiring class here in Rancho just 2 months ago. "Richard has provided such a spark from day one" says President Carl Uhl. "He brings a ton of excitement and laughs to the office. But what many don't know is how much Richard does behind the scenes. He constantly educates himself by reading and developing himself as a professional, which is a behavior we truly value here."

Richard's performance certainly has not gone unnoticed especially as of late. He was actually chosen to attend last week's Ontario Reign hockey game on Wednesday by winning a week long office contest, and was also chosen by his peers to plan this Thursday's team night event. Of course he chose to go ice-skating  perhaps inspired by the great hockey he got to see last week. Awesome job Richard keep up the great work!
