Corizon Turns TWO!

It seems strange when I think that TWO WHOLE YEARS have gone by since we were in the throes of the merger between my company, PHS, and our biggest competitor, CMS. We became Corizon on June 3rd, 2011. It's been a long, and admittedly difficult, two years but we are now beginning to see the fruits of our labors as we see things starting to turn around for our company, and see the merger pay off.

 

We had a week-long celebration of our 2nd birthday, which included an employee picnic, a birthday party, treats delivered to everyone's desks on a couple of days, a 'Hawaiian Break' and a Gift Card Giveaway in 'Happy Birthday' Presents.



Our picnic got rained on a little bit, but we still fit in some dancing, and a Tug-o-War! I was directly behind Rich Hallworth, our CEO (no pressure), but we all got pulled over the line...As you can see, some of the folks at the back of the line were unaware the TUG had begun! H - E - L - L - OOOO!

Some of our CTeam: Scott King (CLO), Dennis Wade (CHRO), Jon Walker (CDO), Rich Hallworth, (CEO), Marty Moore (CFO)



Some of the Marketing Team: Briana Lutes, Jennie Latimer, Melanie Taylor, Holly Rawnsley, Janet Vogelaar,
me, Jaime Starkey (new Social Media Specialist).

 

Birthday Party Kickoff with Corizon logo cookies & cupcakes!

We Went Hawaiian!

The last day of the week we had about 25 gift cards wrapped on a table, and had a drawing to give them away. Jon Walker (my boss) emceed the event, and it was hilarious watching everyone's anticipation and excitement. The gift cards ranged from $10 to $100, so there's a good reason for some excitement! It built at the end until there was screaming and running, and even HUGGING when they won. (It was like Monty Hall on "Let's Make a Deal!") It was so funny, and we captured a little of it on camera.

 

Happy, Happy Birthday, Corizon! Here's
to many more successful years together!
