Markon's Spring 2020 Awards: Innovation and Scholarship Winners

Celebrating good news is more important than ever during these challenging times. As such, we're pleased to share the winners of our 2020 Markon Innovation Award and John W. Stoneburner Scholarship Fund.

Usually, these are awarded during Markon's Spring all hands meeting. However, since we can't gather in person to celebrate at this time, please join us in congratulating our winners virtually. 

Innovation Award

This is a chance for Markon's contract teams or individuals to showcase key Markon-led improvements, methods, systems, or innovations they've implemented over the previous 12 months – which aligns with Markon’s 2020 strategic plan.
