LACERS honors its best employees.

Guiding Principles Awards

On August 20, LACERS held its sixth annual Guiding Principles event to award employees who best represent the principle categories of Professionalism, Innovation, Respect, Kindness and Caring, and Teamwork. Employees who were voted and selected by their peers for the honor went up on stage to receive their trophy. What a way to congratulate and acknowledge those employees who work hard every day and make sure those they are serving are treated with respect and professionalism.

The event, which carried a Western theme, was held in the Chandler Auditorium of the Los Angeles Times building downtown.

Hosts acknowledged all those nominated for each award and then the awardee.

The Club thanks Neil Guglielmo, General Manager, Club Member, and the LACERS staff for their assistance.
