Hello from Endeavoring!

The swelter of summer is upon us, and the Endeavor office is bustling with activity as the company's ongoing growth continues. With the type of growth that Endeavor has experienced since its inception, the company is always excited to announce the addition of new leaders among its ranks. We're proud to include such an announcement in this month's edition. Don't miss the press release, included in the Company News section, which will serve as an introduction to 3 senior managers, whose extensive knowledge and experience will provide invaluable leadership in their respective roles in Endeavor operations.

But... what good is bringing on top talent like this without an effective on-boarding and training program? That's the topic of this month's Spotlight article, which provides some background not only on Endeavor's on-boarding process and dedication to staff training but also to the exhaustive screening process undergone in finding the best and brightest candidates to add to the team.

Additionally, the Endeavor Sales team will be attending the Electronic Security Expo, which is taking place June 6-10 at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, NC. Endeavor is exhibiting at booth 905, so be sure to swing by if you happen to be in that neck of the woods. For more information of the Expo and details on how to register, check out the Upcoming Events section.

Finally, don't forget to start working on your entry for Endeavor's annual Trick Our Truck contest, which challenges readers of Endeavoring to decorate Endeavor's patented squishy van in fun and creative ways for some great prizes. The deadline to enter the contest is Thursday, June 30, 2011 at 11:59 PM EDT, so you only have 1 month left to sign up. Visit www.endeavortelecom.com/trickourtruck for full contest details.

That's it for this month!
