WOBURN, MA--(Marketwire - December 4, 2009) - GerrityStone, New England's premiere interior
stonework specialist, is pleased to announce Tracy Streckenbach, chief
executive officer at GerrityStone, is recognized as one of the '2009 New
Leaders' by Banker and Tradesman.
This annual recognition is culled from Banker and Tradesman readers who
nominated scores of candidates deemed worthy of this accolade. Editors
spent weeks reviewing the nominees' applications and ultimately chose 29
winners who represent leaders at the forefront of their organizations'
growth within cutting edge companies who also find ways to give back to
their communities and participate in numerous extra-curricular activities
and charities. The list of the 2009 'New Leaders' appears in their November
30th issue.
In just two short years, Ms. Streckenbach has led the GerrityStone team
through a difficult economic climate with positive financial results,
improving the company's annual net income by 28 percent and reducing
production errors by 80 percent as well as achieving their highest ever
customer satisfaction ratings. She spearheaded the green movement at
GerrityStone, incorporating a line of environmentally friendly product
offerings and launched the GerrityStone "Green Team" -- a group of
employees who volunteer their time for environmental causes. She is also
actively involved with the Melanoma Foundation of New England to increase
skin cancer awareness among the teenage population.
"I am very honored to be recognized by Banker and Trademan," notes Tracy
Streckenbach, CEO of GerrityStone. "The successes achieved at GerrityStone
are the result of focused efforts by a dedicated team that has embraced a
new set of ideas. The team at GerrityStone has a clear vision of success
which absolutely revolves around providing the best customer experience,
anywhere. I applaud my entire team for accomplishing phenomenal business
results that seem nearly impossible in the face of the housing downturn of
2009."
