WEST DES MOINES — More than 2,400 Hy-Vee employees will be honored this month for their years of providing helpful smiles and dedication to the company.
Each year, employees from across Hy-Vee’s eight-state region gather together at a series of Service Award Dinners, which celebrate employees’ career milestones in five-year increments, from five to 45 years and beyond.
These festivities have been a Hy-Vee tradition for more than 50 years. Attendees receive gifts and personal congratulations from top company executives, including Hy-Vee Chairman, CEO and President Randy Edeker, who poses for a commemorative photo with each Service Award recipient.
Newton has seven 2015 Hy-Vee Service Award recipients. Those reaching service milestones this year were: Tonda Eilander, 30 years; Kim Hoover, 20 years; Scott Hesse, 20 years; Erica Kelderman, 15 years; Kris Doepp, 15 years; Emily Provin, 10 years; and Julie Grier, 10 years.
