CWI Honors Service Anniversaries of Employees

Published: April 12, 2024

Human Resources, in partnership with Communications and Marketing, is thrilled to announce the redesign of our Employee Service Recognition Awards. With a new vendor, our 5-, 10-, and 15-year service awards will have a fresh design that will serve as a lasting testament to each employee’s achievement.

While awaiting the final steps of design and approval, we want to honor our dedicated employees for reaching these milestones.
