Twice each year, nominations are reviewed by the leadership team, which selects recipients based on their contributions and alignment with the organization’s values. Similarly, TAG Excellence in Action Awards recognize on-site teams nominated by senior leadership for delivering measurable impact, operational excellence, and meaningful community outcomes. These nominations are also presented to the leadership team twice annually for review and approval.

We are honored to celebrate their achievements and excited to continue growing this recognition program in the years ahead,” states Tom Tomaszewski, President of The Annex Group.
