The Lynn Aminzadeh Employee of the Year Award

T&H first recognized the achievements of its employees via the Employee of the Year Award in December of 1998. The awardees are selected by the Executive Team that identifies the employee(s) who have had an extraordinary impact on the Firm for the given year in areas such as:

• Leading and mentoring other employees above and beyond the employee's position requirements;
• Delivering measurable value and results for T&H and/or our clients in the face of very challenging and sometimes crisis situations;
• Being viewed by his or her peers as THE "go-to" person in a highly specialized or technical area and delivering thought leadership for other staff members in that area;
• Implementing cost savings and/or cost avoidance measures that result in increased company profitability;
• Playing a major role in the development of winning proposals;
• Conducting business development activities that result in new business for T&H; and
• Being recognized by a T&H client as a valuable asset that the client MUST HAVE on his or her project in order to ensure a successful project.

The first recipient of the Employee of the Year Award was Carol Claiborne in 1998. Carol was a very unique employee who offered the Firm a rare blend of technical skills, business savvy, leadership, and excellent written and oral communication skills. During her tenure with the Firm, Carol had a tremendous impact on our success with clients such as the Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. After her departure from the Firm in 2003 to follow her husband's career path that led him out of the United States, the Employee of the Year Award was named in her honor.

In 2006, the Employee of the Year Award was renamed in honor of our former Human Resources Director, Vice President, and Chief Operating Officer Lynn Aminzadeh. Lynn is a very special individual who consistently gave of herself in support of our staff, our clients and our community regardless of the challenges in her path. During Lynn's tenure, T&H significantly expanded its employee benefits, implemented T-Help On-Line Training for all employees, increased our community involvement activities including the Reading Mentor program, and initiated our formal Program Review Process to facilitate the success of all T&H projects. Lynn departed the Firm in 2006 due to health reasons. However, Lynn's calm, can-do spirit will always be with us!
