2009 EDI Services Employee of the Year and Unsung Heroes
For more than five years, an outstanding EDI Services employee has been recognized as the EDI Employee of the Year at the annual State of the Department meeting. At the origination of the award, EDI consisted of only 25 employees. Since then, EDI has almost quadrupled in size.
During this year’s meeting, Vice President Tony Petras selected Paul Popovich as the 2009 EDI Services Employee of the Year for demonstrating entrepreneurship, dedication, and initiative. Paul was hired during the summer of 2007 as a Technical Analyst on the Xpeditor Implementation Team (XIT).
He was very honored and appreciative of this award. “During my brief time here at Quadax, I’ve managed to be awarded our EDI division’s ultimate compliment, the Employee of the Year. I am honored to be in a small, select group of recognized talent here in EDI.”
Paul humbly attributed his success within his career to his peers. “I could not have been awarded this achievement without, and it would be a tragedy if I did not thank, fellow coworkers who have helped shape and mold my young professional career into what it has become today.”

Eight other employees were also recognized at the meeting as being “Unsung Heroes.” The award was established last year to honor other outstanding employees in non-management and management roles within EDI Services. The 2009 EDI “Unsung Hero” awards went to service representatives Diane Loughley, Kim Kartchner, Tracey Lee, Jo Ann Perrine, and Dave Hronek; also to Support Technician Dave Meek, Transmissions Auditor Nancy Cramer, and Marketing Coordinator Sharon Wells.
