6. © Center for Companies That Care, 2011 Bonnie Dayan Memorial Award In 2008, one of our friends and most enthusiastic supporters passed away after a valiant battle with cancer. Bonnie Dayan, Owner and Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Triangle Printers, was instrumental in not only strengthening her own company as a company that cares but also identifying other like-minded employers. She also encouraged companies to adopt practices that would benefit their employees, their families, and the community-at-large. To honor Bonnie, Center for Companies That Care established the annual Bonnie Dayan Memorial Award to recognize an Honor Roll employee who, like Bonnie did, works to improve the well- being of individuals, families and communities in his/her daily business practices and encourages others to do the same.
