November 28, 2023

Our people are our greatest strength. We take pride in the supportive environment we cultivate for our employees and recognize excellence through service awards.

The President’s Council Award

Since 2009, the President’s Council Award recognizes employees who have made significant contributions throughout their career and truly define, internally and externally, what it means to be a Puffer-Sweiven employee-owner. Employees are nominated based on the following criteria:

  • Can-do positive attitude
  • Loyalty to customers and Puffer-Sweiven
  • Strong work ethic
  • Significant and/or strategic contributions to Puffer-Sweiven’s business results over the long term
  • Exemplary demonstration of Company core values
President’s Council recipients have demonstrated an outstanding level of commitment to our company. Through their strong work ethic, strategic contributions and exemplary demonstration of the Company’s core values, they have enabled Puffer-Sweiven to deliver the best for our customers.
