Celebrating “The Baynum Way”: Inaugural Employee Appreciation Awards

At Baynum Solutions, our dedicated team is at the heart of our success. We believe in recognizing and celebrating the individuals who go above and beyond to make our company what it is. That’s why we recently hosted our inaugural Employee Appreciation Awards, a night of appreciation, recognition, and camaraderie, all celebrating “The Baynum Way.”

A Night to Remember

The evening began with a warm and festive welcome reception at the iconic Carol Ann’s Carousel in downtown Cincinnati. Surrounded by the whimsical charm of the carousel, our team members and their guests were invited to take a ride and savor each other’s company while enjoying hors d’oeuvres and refreshing cocktails. Laughter and stories filled the air as we came together, not just as colleagues, but as friends.

Our team members enjoyed the carousel’s enchanting atmosphere during the welcome reception.

As the sun set over the Ohio River, we transitioned downstairs to Anderson Pavilion’s elegant conference hall, beautifully decorated. The space was transformed into a scene of pure sophistication, setting the stage for an exquisite dinner and, of course, the highly anticipated Employee Appreciation Awards ceremony.

Recognizing Excellence

The heart of the evening was, of course, our six inaugural Employee Appreciation Awards voted on by our peers. We’re thrilled to announce this year’s deserving recipients:

Trustworthy Award: Angela Hadden
Responsive Award: Aaron Holland
Extraordinary Award: Darin Niesz
Kind & Encouraging Award: Allura Eckert
Fearless Award: Adam Kimbrough
People’s Choice Award: Perry Sellers

Our exceptional award recipients, the heart and soul of Baynum Solutions.

These individuals have exemplified “The Baynum Way” in their day-to-day work, and we are incredibly proud to have them as part of our Baynum family. Each award was met with applause and cheers, as our team members recognized the extraordinary dedication and hard work of their peers.

Post-Dinner Delight

After the awards ceremony, we shifted the focus to what truly matters – spending quality time with friends and family. Our team members and guests relished in great food, drinks, and the opportunity to acknowledge another year of shared successes. Laughter echoed throughout the hall as old stories were retold and new memories were created.

Team members and their loved ones celebrating another year of success.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this event possible. It was a night to remember, celebrating our team’s hard work, dedication, and the sense of community that makes Baynum Solutions a great place to work.

Here’s to another year of growth, shared achievements, and the incredible people who make it all possible, always following “The Baynum Way.”

“Busch Gardens Tampa Bay partnered with Baynum Solutions to repaint two of our most popular attractions here in the park (Cheetah Hunt and Montu). The Baynum team did a fantastic job completing the projects on-time and delivering the final product with the quality expected. The Cheetah Hunt project specifically provided an additional challenge in that the team had to coordinate work schedules and access to various sections of the track through our Serengeti Plain. The Serengeti Plain is home to large portion of the park’s zoological collection. This encompassed working closely with the park’s Zoological team to ensure worker and animal safety while maneuvering high reaches and equipment through various animal areas. Communication with Baynum Solutions throughout the entire process made the overall project a success. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay looks forward to working with Baynum Solutions on future projects.”
