ONE OF GWINNETT COUNTY'S FASTEST GROWING START-UPS
GIVES BACK TO ITS EMPLOYEES AND TO THE COMMUITY
Exam Services Gives $25,000 to Local Charity
As Part of Celebration of Champions
ATLANTA, April 23, 2007 - In just two short years, Gwinnett-based Exam Services, which provides educational and study materials for the Postal Battery Exam, has grown from five employees in a 1,000 square foot office to a team of 450 employees in a 50,000 square-foot office space on Highway 141 in Duluth.
To award and give thanks for this incredible growth, the firm is having its first Celebration of Champions day on Friday, April 27 from 1-5 p.m., at the Regal Hollywood 24 Cinema located in Chamblee . The celebration will feature some 30 awards to deserving staff, motivational speaker David Moore from InJesus Global Missions, a viewing of the movie In the Pursuit of Happyness and the firm's first charitable contribution to Atlanta-based non-profit the Stars4Life Foundation .
The Stars4Life Foundation was founded by former Dallas Maverick basketball player Robert Hanna to provide support for deserving middle and high school students who exemplify a strong aptitude for athletic and academic achievement, but require resources to help them reach their full potential. The foundation's programs include athletic training, personal development and life coaching to help young men and women transform from "winners to champions."
The mission of growing "winners to champions" resonates well with the leadership of Exam Services.
"The whole reason we are passionate about doing business is to create a fun and rewarding culture that supports and encourages our teams to become champions professionally and personally," said co-founder Tyler Long.
Exam Services even organizes its staff into groups of baseball teams equipped with jerseys, a real-time sales score board and competitive awards.
"The greatest reward is being able to share our success with deserving organizations like Stars4Life," said Tyler.
Exam Services and its sister company Access Payment Solutions will award Robert Hanna and Stars4life $25,000 at its employee celebration on Friday, April 27 and will develop an on-going partnership with the non-profit.
