DEFOREST, Wis. – The Wisconsin Custom Operators (WCO) recently honored a Norwalk man for his hard work and dedication to a custom farming business.
WCO’s 2019 Employee of the Year award was given to Norm Kowitz, an employee of Sullivan Custom Farming in Sparta on Feb. 20 during the organization’s annual meeting at the Forage Symposium at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wis.
Nowitz has worked for Sullivan Custom Farming for several years and is described as a gifted mechanic and an all-around great person.
“Norm strives to provide customers with exceptional service,” said Brian Sullivan, who nominated Kowitz. “He treats each customer as if they are the most important by being present in communication and by being respectful of their land and farm.”
WCO created the Employee of the Year award to honor an exemplary employee who demonstrates excellence in the areas of safety, efficiency, customer service, environmental stewardship and profitability of a custom farming or custom harvest operation. Community service is a new category that was added to the award criteria this year.
“Many of our members have had the same crew for several years. These employees are highly skilled and keep our businesses going during the busy season and all year long,” said Bryce O’Leary, WCO president, who presented the award. “Their commitment to safety, the environment and our clients is outstanding – and this award is our opportunity to honor them.”
In addition to his excellent customer service skills, Sullivan says Kowitz’s positive attitude and willingness to help others improves morale during busy and stressful times. Outside of work, Kowitz is active in his community and volunteers with the Lions Club, his local snowmobile club and countless community fundraisers and events.
“Norm has a smile on his face from the time he arrives until he leaves every day. He is a complete team player,” said Sullivan during the award presentation.
Applications are collected for WCO’s Employee of the Year in the fall and the winner is announced at the group’s annual meeting in February. Members are encouraged to nominate those employees who set a positive example for their entire crew.
