About the Charlie Howard Spirit Award
The Charlie Howard Spirit Award was established in the memory of one of IBT's most dedicated employees. Charles Howard (employed from October 1966 through March 1996) began his career at IBT as a driver. In 1967, he was promoted to dispatcher and in 1968 he moved to an inside sales position. There was never a job too big or too small for Charlie and he will be forever remembered for his many years of dedicated, loyal service to IBT.
The Charlie Howard Spirit Award is given to an IBT employee who has demonstrated outstanding service and dedication during the previous quarter. The recipient is recognized at a luncheon meeting and receives dinner for two, a $100 cash bonus, reserved parking and their name on the Charlie Howard Spirit Award plaque in the front lobby of the Central Distribution Center.
