ATLANTA, April 3, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- U.S Security Associates hosted the 7th Annual Winner's Circle Awards Ceremony, which took place at Château Élan in Braselton, Georgia this past weekend. The ceremony was designed to honor the individuals who have made major contributions to the organization throughout the year. Chuck Schneider, President & CEO of U.S. Security Associates, commented, "These individuals have gone above and beyond their normal responsibilities to afford the company outstanding success. Each award recipient embodies the company's core values, mission and vision; which makes them the best of the best." The invitation to the weekend included the spouse or significant other of the honoree, as a tribute to the teamwork that made the honoree's performance possible.
The Winner's Circle recognized outstanding achievement in several categories to include Outstanding Security Officers, Supervisors, Staff Members, Branch Office Performance, Sales Production and Business Unit Performance.
From the moment this year's recipients drove through the gates of Château Élan until the moment they left, they experienced warm southern hospitality in the north foothills of Georgia. Attendees, along with their spouses, enjoyed a fun filled weekend to include fine dining at a Black Tie formal awards dinner and recreational activities that included golf, cooking classes, wine tastings, walking trails, vineyard tours, and the Spa at Chateau Élan, which reflects the ultimate in luxury and serenity.
Schneider commented, "The Winner's Circle is a very special event. Not only for the outstanding performances that we recognize throughout the weekend, but because we celebrate the success of our company, which every individual here has played a role in creating. We built this company Security Officer-by-Security Officer, Branch-by-Branch, until we are now the 4th largest uniformed security company in the country and clearly the 'best in the business.' The other reason the Winner's Circle awards are very special, is because they portray the best picture of 'what we are, and what we want to be as a company' – our values, our goals, our heroes and the performance level to which we aspire."
Being included in Winner's Circle has quickly become a coveted honor within the company.
