As far as a business owner, it's getting us all together and taking pride in our city. It's a very simple thing to do, and it'll increase your business, increase your employees -- the whole ball of wax.

The Lenders One model is completely different than anything we've seen in the industry.

I think it's a life changing experience. You can meet someone from around the United States and learn what they go -- they're going through.

It's really sad to see what everyone is going through right now.

At Business Objects, we recognize our greatest asset is our employees. We take great pride in our employees, which is why we continue to invest in recruiting, training, and retention programs. We are dedicated to fostering the career development of our people, and creating a workplace and culture we can all feel good about. These awards demonstrate our commitment to the community and the emphasis we place on attracting and retaining top talent in the marketplace.

It's a very big game for us for many reasons. Local pride is at stake.
