PersonnelPlus is proud to announce the winners of the 2021 Trailblazer Awards. Each year PersonnelPlus nominates individuals and business for a Business/Business Leader, Ambassador, Visionary, David Welsh Award and Employee of the Year. Once nominations are made, the PersonnelPlus Business Advisor Council votes on the winners.

Please join us in congratulating Brenen’s-Business Leader Award, Kroger of Athens-Ambassador Award, William Peacock-Visionary Award, Fred Cremeans-David Welsh Award and Jon Mustard-Employee of the Year, for their support, hard work and continued support of enhancing and changing the lives of people with different abilities.

The Business Advisory Council assists PersonnelPlus in educating businesses and the community about  the benefits of hiring workers with disabilities, assists in connecting Job Seekers with employment opportunities and promoting the idea everyone is entitled to be given the opportunity to work and be a productive member of their community.

The council meets the last Monday of each month at 3:00 p.m. for about an hour (currently via zoom).
