Annually, AVENIR GLOBAL honors standout employees with the Achievement Awards, celebrating those whose outstanding contributions have bolstered our core values, driven growth, and solidified our industry leadership.
Among 255 nominations submitted by colleagues, 96 laureates were selected this year for their accomplishments in seven categories. The awards were presented during local ceremonies for each of our offices.
In addition to the winners in local categories, AVENIR GLOBAL also presented two global recognition awards:
