“It is such an honor to be recognized with this award. I was completely humbled to learn about the talented group of individuals I was among. It certainly helps to have such an amazing staff of people at our company, because I believe whole-heartedly that we are only as good as the people we have around us. This is why we put so much effort into leadership development,” said Graves, regarding her achievement. She and her family recently attended an awards ceremony to celebrate her accomplishment. Past winners from the last 20 years were also in attendance to help commemorate the event.
