TEMPE, Ariz., Nov. 18, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At Insight’s partner event, Synergy16 – The Power of Purpose, the world’s leading technology companies came together in Scottsdale, Ariz. for two days of presentations and discussions on strategy, marketing and growth. During the evening awards ceremony, Insight’s partners were recognized with awards celebrating our mutual successes.
Local Phoenix artist, Roy Wasson Valle, was commissioned to design and produce a piece that would recognize Insight’s partners in step with the company’s values of Hunger, Heart and Harmony. Exemplifying these values, a unique piece of artwork labeled “The Heart of the Desert” emerged.
In 2013 a wildfire claimed the lives of 19 Granite Mountain Hot Shots, an elite firefighting squad in Yarnell, Ariz., leaving the community devastated by the tragedy. Valle reclaimed burned wood from amongst this destruction, giving it new purpose as the base of the Heart of the Desert Awards. It was a fitting way to honor the winners by forming something celebratory from tragedy.
