Client Celebrations

CI Client annual summer picnic

Columbia Industries is proud to host celebrations throughout the year for our clients, their families, our board members, and our staff.

During the Annual Summer Picnic, the prestigious Dan Dibble Award is presented to a deserving participant, who is nominated by other participants. Dan worked for Columbia Industries for 13 years, and he passed away in 1995. Dan was a hard worker who was very nice to everyone he met and he tried to do his best on any job that was asked of him. The award is given based on four characteristics: team player, positive attitude, reliability, and quality of work.

Tenure awards for every five years of service with Columbia Industries are also presented. To date, our most tenured client has been with us for 40 years!

And of course, every client receives a thank you gift. It’s also a time for our clients to celebrate their successes and share stories with others. There’s also plenty of fun…games, karaoke, and a dunking machine — where the leadership team and board members get really wet!

Even before the summer picnic is over, clients look forward to the Holiday Dinner in December. Staff and board members put on a huge turkey meal, complete with all the trimmings. There’s lots of fun…and even a guest appearance by Santa!
