MONTHLY UPDATE: JULY 2018
W.I.T. Whatever It Takes Monthly Award
Carolyn Fynan – Human Resources Manager
Carolyn joined Summer Classics in 2016 in the Accounting and
Finance department. She moved to human resources department
in early 2017 and was recently promoted to her current role of
Human Resources Manager. Carolyn was asked by Amy Myers,
Chief Marketing Officer, to develop an assimilation exercise with
the Gabby Design Team and our new Assistant Vice President of
Design - Gabby, Rachel Blindauer. Carolyn adjusted her schedule,
met with Amy to discuss the plan, met with the Gabby Design
Team employees to get their input, met with Rachel to get her
input, facilitated the assimilation meeting, and provided a recap to
Amy. Carolyn was able to accomplish all of this in just a few days.
According to Amy, “My request was really pretty unreasonable
without any notice but Carolyn made it happen. Very grateful
for her flexibility and making Rachel’s onboarding even better.”
Carolyn’s approach and actions emulate all elements of our Core
Values, DESIGN! Summer Classics is fortunate to have Carolyn
serving and supporting our employees!
Leigh Anne Alfano - Junior Designer
Leigh Anne was an intern with the company in 2016 and returned
as a full-time employee in 2017. She has proven herself to be a
diligent hard worker. She always has a bright and optimistic
attitude when it comes to her work. She always wants to lend a
helping hand and is a joy to work with. Leigh Anne completely
exemplifies the core values and the WIT attitude. She works very
hard and takes on additional responsibilities to help push the
organization forward. Leigh Anne has planned and organized
SC photo shoots, taken on Gabby tailored development and has
done a great job with that. She is a joy to work with and a great
asset to our organization.
We are excited to begin our WIT Team Recognition and who better to start this off than a group of dedicated workers from
our Pelham Warehouse Distribution Team:
Maleake Kersh, Keon Tarver, Jamar Ward, Arthur Smith, James Farley and Wymarcus Smith put the dedication in DESIGN
by helping out, not only in their area, but in the marketing department. Despite working a full shift in distribution, they
were willing to put in extra effort to assist in the office and make some quick and heavy furniture moves. They are a
dedicated and an enthusiastic team!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
