Spokes believes in progress, not perfection. We believe in the value of taking little steps towards big results. We believe that we can learn from each other. We believe that we are all capable of continuously growing our leadership abilities. We honor those organizations that identify the hard problems and then do the hard work to resolve them through our annual Medal of Merit Awards program.
