It's like I tell my daughter every day, just remember Jilly if you're not first, you're last. So kick some butt out there. She always shakes her head as she heads out the door into the real world. It's my Knute Rockne speech for the day. She's 14 by the way. And while I'm not too sure that's exactly what George Beasley tells his people, it's great to see the family stir up the competitive juices and hand out achievement awards to employees. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there and there's too much rewarding going on for just trying. So, enough of that "let's give a ribbon to everyone in the game" stuff and hand out some winning trophies.
And the winners are:
? 103#9 WXKB-FM ? Radio Station of the Year / Fort Myers-Naples, FL
? Bruce Simel ? General Manager of the Year / Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville, NC
? Justin Chase? Program Director of the Year / KKLZ-FM, Las Vegas
? Matt Smith? Sales Manager of the Year / WXTU-FM, Philadelphia
? AJ Lurie- Interactive Sales Manager of the Year / Fort Myers-Naples, FL
? Lisa Lewis? Business Manager of the Year / Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville, NC
? Don Melnyk? Engineer of the Year / Philadelphia
Beasley Founder, Chairman and CEO George Beasley said ?Acknowledging the outstanding performances of our employees is one of the most gratifying aspects of managing the Company. This year?s awards dinner was especially poignant in that we also celebrated our 50th Anniversary in the radio broadcasting business. Such a milestone is only reached through teamwork; the Beasley family is thankful to be surrounded by incredible professionals operating at every level of the Company. The station and individuals who earned distinction as 2011 winners of our annual awards are to be commended for going the extra mile this past year, their dedication and efforts are greatly appreciated.?
Much better than my Knute Rockne speech big George. And Congratulations to all the Beasley WINNERS!
