 Spirit of Enterprise Awards/Testimonials

“Sundt is proud to have been recognized as the 2008 Spirit of Enterprise Entrepreneurial Leadership Award winner.   There are several reasons why we cherish this recognition.  First, the process was a rigorous one and the competition was excellent.   That kind of a process adds value in our eyes and makes the recognition more meaningful.   Secondly, we have a great deal of respect for the W.P Carey School and Arizona State University in general.  Again, recognition from this institution is something that we think adds value to Sundt and builds upon our most precious asset, our reputation.  Finally, we gained some insight about ourselves through the process.  We applied for the entrepreneurial award which is unique in that we are a 119 year old employee owned company.  We learned that even in this kind of an ownership structure the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well at Sundt.   As in many things we would encourage other companies to go through this process as you may just learn something about yourself and gain some recognition in the process."

“From beginning to end, I found the Spirit process to be compelling, engaging and uplifting.  For our company there is a sense of pride that continues to permeate the organization.  My friends, business associates and new acquaintances continue to talk about it 6 months later.  I must say it has been a life altering experience.  I look forward to seeing who this year’s nominees and winners will be.”
