CHEEKTOWAGA, NY, December 23, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- DirectBuy of Buffalo, the leading members-only showroom and home design center, established the "Do-Gooder of the Month" award to recognize employees, vendors and even members going above and beyond the call of duty—either on the job or in their everyday lives. November's winner was Lee Ann Evans, marketing manager at DirectBuy of Buffalo, for being recognized at DirectBuy's international conference in San Francisco last month.
Evans received Career Level 500 honors for the number of families she has personally helped join DirectBuy during her nearly three years working for the Buffalo location. For this distinction, she received a certificate and plaque from DirectBuy Corporate officers as well as luggage made of fine leather.
"Lee Ann does a great job in our marketing department and Corporate's recognition of her accomplishments bears that out. But we wanted to recognize those accomplishments on a more personal and local level. That's why Lee Ann is our Do-Gooder for the month of November," said Mark Klinger, owner of DirectBuy of Buffalo.
As for DirectBuy of Buffalo's Do-Gooder of the Month, beyond the recognition, the recipient receives a restaurant gift certificate. For Evans, an East Amherst resident and graduate of Canisius College in Buffalo, working at DirectBuy means quite a bit more than a free meal.
"Just about three years ago, before I took the job with DirectBuy of Buffalo, I had another offer that I strongly considered. The owner of DirectBuy of Buffalo made a very compelling case for me to come work here. It's turned out to be the best decision I ever made," said Evans. "Quite simply, I love this company and love what we can do for families by helping them create the homes of their dreams."
DirectBuy franchises across the United States and Canada are active contributors to many local non-profits and charities, including the Boys & Girls Clubs, Salvation Army and other South Shore YMCA, Homes for Our Troops and Children's Hospital. Besides the Habitat for Humanity, DirectBuy of Buffalo was a sponsor of the first annual Kevin Everett Golf Weekend Classic and donates slightly damaged items that manufacturers will not exchange to the Delaware Avenue Baptist Church in Buffalo.
