Our December You-Make-The-Difference winner, Brian Taylor, hadn’t even received his certificate yet before learning that he was also voted our Socketeer of the Year. But since the trophy will take a week or two to be engraved, he’ll at least have something to hang on his wall in the meantime!

The Socketeer of the Year award was started 8 years ago, when Socket’s owners decided to honor one of the year’s monthly You-Make-The-Difference award winners based on their embodiment of our Core Values and Beliefs.

If Socketeers are riding oversized adult tricycles indoors, it can only mean one thing – it’s the Socket Christmas Party!

Luckily, the good folks over at the Peachtree Banquet Center are very accommodating. Plus they put out a fantastic meal for us (bet you can’t ride bikes around the dining table at your Christmas dinner)!

Every couple of months, Socketeers gather to discuss company progress and goals. And while this is always informative and productive, you can’t get every employee into the same room without making it fun!

We had a delicious lunch catered by Buckingham’s BBQ, and gathered at the Blue Note for the presentation. A huge thanks to the staff for helping us set up (and giving us a little tour backstage!)
