Oil Patch Bits: Michel and Weist awarded Crowley’s highest honor

Crowley said Aug. 27 that Suz Michel, director of people development and learning for Crowley in Seattle, and Bob Weist, vice president of sales and marketing for the logistics group, were awarded 2008 Thomas Crowley trophies, the company’s highest honor. Created in 1985, only 50 of the company’s 4,300-plus employees have been recognized with the limited edition, bronze sculpture depicting young Thomas Crowley as he ferried goods to and from ships on San Francisco Bay in the early 1890s. The trophy serves not only as a tribute to the founder of the company, but also to those honorees who have aligned themselves closely with the company’s values and displayed outstanding performance along with dedication, leadership, initiative and productivity.
