Time to vote for Employee of the Year

Twenty five nominations have been received by the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce for the two Employee of the Year Awards that will be presented later this month.

Carol Yaholnitksy, Co-Chair of the Chamber's Events committee is pleased with that number. "At first the Committee was a little concerned that so few nominations had been submitted but the community really came through in the last few days," she said. "Fifteen nominations were received for the Front Line Employee of the Year Award and ten were received for the Support Employee of the Year Award."

Each Award recognizes outstanding contributions by employees to their places of employment and to the community. The Front Line Employee of the Year Award, sponsored by Crusader Drilling, is for those employees who provide the customer service that ensures customers continue to walk through the doors of the business.

The Support Employee Award, sponsored by Parkland College, is for those hard working, knowledgeable employees who ensure the back end of the business runs smoothly.

Photos and biographies of the nominees will be posted on the Chamber website April 9 - 11. Each Chamber member will then have the opportunity to cast one vote for the nominee considered most deserving for each of the Awards.

The Employee of the Year Awards will be presented at the 2013 Employee Recognition Event, Tuesday April 16 at St. Mary's Ukrainian Cultural Centre. Saskatchewan comedian, Jody Peters, will entertain the employees and their employers prior to the Award presentations. Tickets to the are available at the Chamber office.
