When we began the Business Achievement Award over fourteen years ago, we always knew that we needed to recognize our top leaders for their support of our community, their discipline to grow and shape their respective businesses, their engagement and support with/from their family and friends and their wisdom. All of the honorees: Lead With Passion. ... Make Communication a Priority... Commit to Staff... Commit to Team Building... Lead With Decisiveness...* The two areas that seem to be missing - their commitment to their families and friends and their humility. I have had the honor of contacting each of the past recipients and letting them know that they were being honored. They all have the same reaction: “No, I don’t deserve the award./My children and/ or siblings are involved in the business and they deserve recognition, too./Why me?” Please join us as we honor Gary, his sons, family, and partners and all of the people who have helped him make Allen Distribution successful. Also a special thank you to FNB for being our partner the past few years for the Business Achievement Award. Gary believes that “surrounding yourself with good people” is the key to success in business. Gary is truly deserving of this year’s award. Please attend. It will make your day!
