Originated in 1997, the Chairman's Award seeks to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of employees who exude excellence, a deep commitment to customer service and the company, as well as a dedication to their colleagues and communities. Criteria for being nominated for the award reflects, in part, the company's mission statement and its values of customer service, safety, integrity, teamwork, and regard for people and communities.
"All seven of our winners this year represent the best of Saia," said Rick O'Dell, Saia president and CEO. "Each one is a tremendous asset to their terminal as well as the company."
Every year, each nominee has to earn the Chairman's Award recognition through a specific deed, or series of deeds. Some employees are nominated and chosen because of actions that demonstrate their work ethic and commitment to the company and its customers while others are chosen because of a singular, life-saving heroic act.
