SAGE Dining Wins Award

This spring, Marion Military Institute’s SAGE Dining team was chosen for their company’s Golden Leaf Awards, created to honor team members who go above and beyond, those who lead by example and embody SAGE Dining Service's mission, values, and commitment to excellence. MMI was named to SAGE’s Honor Roll, celebrating individuals and teams who consistently perform at a high level, reflecting a strong commitment to operational excellence. Their results demonstrate accountability, attention to detail, and pride in delivering dining programs that run smoothly and effectively. The MMI team's average audit score for performance excellence placed them within the top 15% of all SAGE venues, company-wide. Additionally, MMI’s Billy Williams was a nominee for SAGE’s Most Valuable Player Award, recognizing individuals whose dedication, integrity, and positive influence elevate everyone around them. They model SAGE’s values through their actions, foster collaboration, and contribute meaningfully to both their teams and communities. Respected by peers and leaders alike, these individuals inspire excellence while helping create a supportive and inclusive environment. Their contributions leave a lasting impression on team culture and exemplify the power of leading by example. Kudos to these Marion-based SAGE Dining team members: Shirley Bennett, Patricia Bush, Kolby Carlton, Rita Cook, Robin Duke, Tristian Evans, Callie Harris, Natoshia Heard, Jeanette Huff, Sarah Jackson, Vanessa LeCroy, Latracy Martin, Merline Mims, Richard Rodriguez, Jessica Rogers, Michael Rutledge, Michael Sprott, Elizabeth Stewart, Mark Thurber, Johnny Tutt, Seaborn Whatley, and Billy Williams. By reliably meeting — and often exceeding — SAGE’s standards, these honorees help strengthen client confidence and support the overall success of the organization.
