FFPA Awards of Distinction

February 18th, 2015
Congratulations to our other award winners at
FFPAs Annual Distinction Dinner.

Distinction is achieved when FFPA receives a

written client compliment. Here are the
compliments from 2014:

Administrator, November 2014

what a great group of security people we have here. They are doing
a great job and the majority of them are extremely helpful! We are
always so quick to complain about people, so I wanted to do the

opposite. Hopefully, we can keep the ones we have as like I said,

they are doing great! Really enjoy Dave and his co-worker.
