The Events Organization (TEO) did an outstanding job in helping to coordinate our multifaceted, long-term 125th anniversary celebration.
They began working with us in June of [last year], helping a steering committee of approximately 20 people to design, structure, and implement theme, history book, history calendar, history display, employee and shareholder celebrations, and twelve different branch celebrations.
All of the personnel at TEO were professional, resourceful, and fun to work with. We became like family over the course of these celebrations which involved food, tenting, entertainment, prizes, and giveaways. They brought in top support disciplines to make our event(s) well publicized, well attended, and well executed.
