There is no time like the present to start a meaningful tradition.  At least that’s the thinking around the Joshua Expeditions Headquarters.  This morning we held our first ever Joshua Expeditions CEO Breakfast.  It was a great time of prayer and fellowship followed by some words from our CEO, Amir Mahadi, about all of the great things that JE was able to do last year, and where he sees us heading in the next few years.

At the end of the breakfast, five JE employees were honored for their contributions to the company, and for the time that they have been a part of the JE Family.  There were three different awards handed out.  One for having been a JE employee for at least 5 years, one for having been a JE employee for at least 10 years, and one for having been a JE employee for at least 15 years.

This year the honorees were:

1. Jillian Tincher – Washington, D.C. Coordinator (5 years)
2. Michael Mauk – Senior Class Trips Specialist and Manager of Marketing (7 years)
3. Tina Mauk – Accounts Payable (7 years)
4. Beth Andersen – Costa Rica Coordinator and Supervising Coordinator (15 years)
5. *not pictured* Kristen Munson – Accounts Receivable (8 years)

Congratulations to all the honorees.  On behalf of Joshua Expeditions, and the thousands of travelers who have benefited from your service over the years, thank you for everything you do.
