Yesterday was an exciting day for our company, as we hosted our annual Service Awards in which we celebrate Rubicon® team members who have been with the company for five years, as well as those who have been with us for the past decade.
Rubicon’s mission is to end waste, in all of its forms. Each of the Rubicon team members who received an award yesterday lives this mission, and we were thrilled to be able to celebrate them in this way.
Acceptance Speeches
Lists containing all of the award recipients are below, but I first want to share a number of quotes from some of our award winners’ acceptance speeches from yesterday’s event:
