Above: Tammy Barnes, Employee-Owner of the Year, and Cisco-Eagle President Darein Gandall.
Tammy Barnes has been named our 2013-2014 Employee-Owner of the Year.

It recognizes an employee-owner who has gone beyond what is expected to promote and support the ownership culture at Cisco-Eagle. This award is distinct because it is awarded directly by a committee of employees rather than senior management.
