Friendliest Employee of the Year Nominees

😊 Celebrating Kindness: Meet Our 2025 Friendliest Employee of the Year Nominees! 🌟

This is one of our absolute favorite awards because it captures what makes Tecumseh so special — our people. 💙

The Friendliest Employee of the Year Award celebrates an employee known for their exceptional friendliness and customer service, either within Tecumseh or at one of our Chamber member locations. In a small community like ours, outstanding customer service is more than just good business — it’s the heart of what builds strong relationships and creates lasting memories. 🫶

We’re proud to announce this year’s 2025 Friendliest Employee of the Year nominees:

👏 Derek Barton – KGFF Radio
👏 Karen Harris – Pioneer Library System
👏 Beth Lyle – Pioneer Library System
👏 Bailey Smith – New Ideas Printing



Each of these individuals goes above and beyond to make every interaction welcoming, positive, and memorable. Their smiles, kindness, and dedication remind us daily that the people behind the counter, on the phone, or greeting us at the door are what make Tecumseh shine. ☀️

Join us in congratulating these amazing nominees and help us celebrate their spirit of service at our “Shine On” Annual Meeting & Awards Banquet on November 20th at The Grand Casino! ✨
