There are no halfhearted attempts at anything because everything is done with at least 100% commitment. Someone who so lives the ContinuitySA values that I would not be surprised if they are tattooed somewhere on this person’s body. Having been to a number of different events during the year I can say that none of them compare to the events organised by this person. The value brought to the company in the strategic use of social and other media has been immense. ContinuitySA is fortunate to have had the contribution of this person, not only for this past year but all the years before as well. The employee of the year award goes to Cindy Bodenstein Show less
