WE WON! CONGRATULATIONS TO US! A-O DIVISION WINS THE FIRST-EVER AVERY DIVISION PRESTIGE AWARD IN
THE 2006 AVERY® GREAT RESULTS ACHIEVEMENT CONTEST! |
We were not just randomly scattering puzzle pieces around when
we announced in January that we had submitted our application and fully intended to win. Therefore, we were extremely pleased -- but not greatly surprised -- when Avery announced on Administrative
Professionals Day that the Arkansas-Oklahoma Division was indeed the winner of the first-ever Division Prestige Award.
Avery regretted they did not have someone in the Oklahoma
City area to make the announcement in person, so it will be great to see President Bryan on stage at International
Convention in Reno in August accepting the Award and the $1,000 check. It just doesn't get much better than this.
