PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - September 29, 2008) - The W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona
State University honored Televerde, a premier provider of market insight
and customer acquisition solutions, with the celebrated 2008 Spirit of
Enterprise Innovation in Entrepreneurship award at the Biltmore Resort and
Spa on Thursday, September 25. Televerde's leadership received the
distinctive honor at the annual Spirit of Enterprise event which was
attended by Arizona business leaders and State dignitaries.
Televerde was chosen for the tribute based on ethics, energy and excellence
in entrepreneurship. They were selected from more than 250 applicants as
one of five winners of the annual Spirit of Enterprise awards. The
nominating committee evaluated Televerde's unique business model of
developing and training women in the Arizona Department of Corrections
facilities to be contributing professionals and highly skilled employees
that manage sales and marketing campaigns for high-tech companies around
the world.
"Televerde is privileged to be recognized with this distinguished business
award as it reinforces our genuine promise to provide innovative solutions
for our valued clients while equally focusing on our business model that
improves lives and the community rewarding our loyal team of employees
through our driving commitment to corporate social responsibility," said
James H. Hooker, president and CEO of Televerde.
Televerde started working with the Arizona Department of Corrections and
their work development program more than 14 years ago and has since grown
to 400 employees in multiple sites with countless success stories of women
moving into productive, self-sustaining careers upon release. More than
half of the employees at the Televerde headquarters were once part of the
corrections facilities program. Televerde provides employment
opportunities, education and an array of support programs to help the
participating women successfully integrate back into society, removing the
burden on the community and their families.
