"We are able to share tips and ideas with other leaders in the industry as well as learn about new technology and equipment, all of which leads to better service for our customers."

Awards banquet featured speaker, Dick Hoyt, founder of Team Hoyt, spoke of his organization's lifelong commitment to changing attitudes and educating others on the world of disabilities and encouraging companies to adopt the "Yes, You Can" mindset when it comes to their organizations. Team Hoyt was formed in 1977 when Rick Hoyt, son of Dick Hoyt and a quadriplegic, told his father he wanted to run a 5K in honor of a lacrosse player who had been paralyzed. They ran the 5K with Dick pushing Rick in his wheelchair. Since then the duo have competed in over 1,090 athletic events around the world.
