The First Annual Marlow Awards


On December 13, 2025, during our Annual Holiday Party, we proudly introduced the first-ever Marlow Awards. While the evening was filled with celebration, laughter, and connection, it also marked something more meaningful—the beginning of a tradition rooted in appreciation. These awards were created to honor the people who quietly and consistently shape our culture. The ones who lead with integrity, serve with heart, grow with purpose, and support others when it matters most. The 2025 Marlow Awards recognize leadership, service, growth, and the often unseen efforts that move our organization forward every single day.
