Nominees and Finalists Honored on Friday with LAVIDGE’s 3rd-Annual LAVY Awards

Peer-nominated awards recognize excellence in 5 key categories

PHOENIX (Dec. 11, 2023) – Employees nominated by and voted on by their peers for excellence in five key categories accepted their awards on Friday during the annual LAVIDGE Holiday Party.

In its third year, the LAVY Awards program offers employees the opportunity to recognize their peers for work well done. Nominations are open to all, and everyone is eligible to participate. The idea is to encourage employees to be mindful year-round of their colleagues’ efforts to grow the business—and provide a meaningful way to thank them.
