Chairman's Circle of Excellence
Chairman's Circle of Excellence
The Chairman's Circle of Excellence is a way to recognize associates who are dedicated to the values and culture of Mayer and demonstrate those values every day.
Each year the finalists selected from all nominations in each award category make up the Circle of Excellence. While Award winners are featured here, all finalist, from the beginning in 2010 make up the Chairman's Circle of Excellence. Becoming a member of this group is an honor and each finalist was nominated by their peers. Each year, the winner in each category is selected from the Circle of Excellence nomination finalists in their respective category. Every associate who has been at Mayer for at least a year as of April 30th is eligible for one or more of the awards with the exception of senior management and members of the QSI 1 team that oversees the event each year. In addition, there will also be one team which will be recognized for their impact on the company.

2020 Heroes
No one could have predicted the historic events of 2020. Along with many challenges, our associates have seized opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others, and take on additional responsibilities to ensure that Mayer remains the first choice of Customers, Suppliers and Associates.
Rather than following our normal Circle of Excellence categories in 2020, Mayer recognized heroes throughout our footprint who demonstrated their dedication and outstanding character, whether at work or in their communities, during these unprecedented times.
