Culver City Observer -

The following Culver City-area entrepreneurs joined a group of high-performing franchisees who were recognized during an Awards Extravaganza event at the recent SERVPRO® Annual Convention. More than 2,500 owners, key staff, and corporate representatives attended the annual event which was held at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel, June 24–28. * Gary Yang, Owner(s) of SERVPRO of Culver City/Baldwin Hills, who can be reached at (310) 558-9422 or gyang.servproculvercity@gmail.com, received the DIRECTOR'S Platinum award. * Albert Nissan and Jaimie Nissan, Owner(s) of SERVPRO of Santa Monica/Venice Beach, who can be reached at (310) 395-9050 or a_nissan@servpro8907.com, received the MILLIONAIRE'S Silver award. Each year the Awards Extravaganza event is a highlight of the convention. The 2017 convention theme, "Every Day is GAMEDAY," was a thread running through the 50 breakout sessions and three general sessions available to franchise owners and key team members in attendance. In keeping with the theme the keynote speaker was Ross Bernstein, an inspirational business speaker and best-selling sports author. Bernstein's signature program, "The Champion's Code: Building Relationships Through Life Lessons of Integrity and Accountability from the Sports World to the Business World"(www.rossbernstein.com), reinforces the concept that individuals win games, but TEAMS win championships. "As we celebrate our 50th year of providing world-class service to home and business owners who find themselves faced with sudden and unexpected disasters, the message that Bernstein delivers resonates. Our company's success is built on the professionalism, caring, and integrity of our individual franchisees, like this year's award winners. But the focus of the company as a whole is on providing the tools and training these individuals need to succeed," said Sue Steen, Chief Executive Officer of Servpro Industries, Inc.

"This annual gathering is our opportunity to share the latest in technology and insights with our owners, to congratulate this year's award winners and thank the extraordinary entrepreneurs-the team that has kept us at the top of our business category year after year."For more information about SERVPRO, visit http://www.SERVPRO.com.
