Earlier this month, we recognized 26 members of our staff as recipients of the 2015 Arbor Star Award. They were all chosen because each one embodies the Arbor Service Way—our standards for great service—in their own special ways.
Our Arbor Stars represent the best of the best in each community and we are honored to work with them every day.
You can learn more about each of the Arbor Stars and the Arbor Service Way standard that they most exemplify in the list below. I hope you’ll join us in congratulating our stars by sharing with friends and family on your social media services.
