"I nominated Laura Sandstrom for either the CEO award or the Employee Trust Award. Laura is a Swiss Army Knife (TM). She can do anything, with excellence. She has a 'can do' attitude. She is extraordinarily well organized & is a bulldog (I mean this in the best sense) in following up with other team members [ ]. She is extraordinarily diligent. While she is tireless, she is always pleasant to deal with and displays respect and professionalism to colleagues. Laura exemplifies all our core principles. She would be a worthy recipient of either the Employee Trust Award, or the CEO award."

"Laura is a master of her craft. Her attention to detail and persistence allows her to execute at the highest levels - keeping complex projects on track, diagnosing business problems and crafting effective solutions, and delivering on important project goals. Moreover, she operates with good humor and camaraderie which help motivate the teams she works with. I worked with Laura on several cross-department M&A projects. Through our collaborating, she demonstrated a willingness to explore new methods, including a new project management platform, system of documentation, and communication medium. Laura’s ability to step outside of her professional comfort zone in order to best accomplish the mission is only one example of the many characteristics which make her highly effective. She’s a strong addition to any team, as well as an impressive individual contributor."
