By selecting this employee as LIB “Sighted  Employee of the Year” we honor a person with  high levels of dependability, independence,  judgment and perhaps most importantly, a good  friend.  Since joining LIB as a Quality Auditor and  Inspector in 2002, Glenda Grant has taken on  additional responsibilities as a Utility Operator in  the Textile/Sewing department.  Not only is she  exceptionally skilled working on her day to day  duties, but our sighted worker cheerfully accepts  any job assignment whenever asked.  As a matter  of fact, Glenda has recently learned new skills on  Maintenance Cases and Canteen Covers.  She also  helps to sew samples and prototypes for  commercial items.  In summary, our “Sighted  Employee of the Year” makes every effort assuring  her work is accurate and thorough on any task she  performs.  One factor always important in being selected is  whether or not the employee has earned the trust  and respect of their co-workers.  Glenda can often  be seen giving aid to a visually impaired employee  who has lost their way or needs her assistance.   Also, when she is not seen being cheerful or  laughing and joking with their fellow employees,  Glenda can be seen lending a friendly, sincere and  understanding voice to whomever needs either  sound advice or a gentle understanding of her  coworker’s concerns.   Please join us in celebrating Glenda Grant as Lions  Industries’ 2012 “Sighted Employee of the Year”.  Since joining LIB in 2008, Kyle Barber has  mastered several jobs at LIB, including those in  other departments outside of Military Embroidery.   He has also worked very hard to learn in detail any  new job that he has taken on.    One of the other areas that help in determining a  finalist for “Blind Employee of the Year” is the  extra activities that they participate in. Over the last year, as LIB implemented its ISO  Quality Management System, Kyle volunteered  and became a key member of the Quality Auditor  team and also gained a clear understanding of the  company’s systems.  He has served on the  Employee Advisory Committee as well as the LIB  Safety Committee.  As we all can see this person  loves being challenged as well as being given a  leadership role in the workplace.  Although it is very important to highlight the  contributions that this person makes in the  workplace it is also important to highlight the kind  of person this employee is.  Our “Blind Employee of the Year” is a person who  speaks their mind and stands up for what they  believe in and what is right.  But behind a  sometimes seemingly tough exterior lies someone  with a big heart.  Kindness and generosity are also  qualities that this employee possesses.  In short,  this person is known to be a loyal friend and true  family member. Our fellow employee is someone who loves  computers and electronics.  Kyle is known by all  for his passion and devotion to East Carolina  University both in sports as well as an academic  institution.  Please join LIB in our congratulations to Kyle  Barber as the “2012 Blind Employee” of the year.  2012 Employee’s of the Year Glenda Grant 2012 Sighted Worker of the Year Kyle Barber 2012 Blind Employee of the Year
