The Shippers Group is excited to announce our 2020 Circle of Excellence Recipients! Each month our associates nominate an Associate of the Month, and while we always want to recognize all our associates, between the two regions, there can only be two individuals a month awarded this title.

"I'm always impressed by the Excellence all our associates bring to work each and every day. The past 14 months have been challenging for all of us with COVID-19 halting our day-to-day activities. Through it all, our associates marshaled on working with masks, going through temperature checks, and washing their hands a million times a day.

Despite these challenges, our associates continued to exceed and excel in the workplace. We continued our program now branded WOW and each month continued to see many, many nominations. This is a testament to all of you and your work ethic. The Shippers Group cannot begin to thank everyone for sticking through the difficulties and meeting the challenge. My sincere thank you to all Associates who were nominated and those who won Associate of the Month."

– Rob Doyle, President
