Celebrating good news is more important than ever during these challenging times. As such, we're pleased to share with you the 2020 winners of Markon's Innovation Award and the John W. Stoneburner Scholarship Fund.
Usually, these are awarded during Markon's Spring All Hands meeting. However, since we can't gather in person to celebrate at this time, please join us in congratulating our winners virtually.
Innovation Award
This is a chance for Markon's contract teams or individuals to showcase key Markon-led improvements, methods, systems, or innovations they've implemented over the previous 12 months – which directly aligns to Markon’s 2020 strategic plan.
