The most prestigious honor bestowed at Telgian each year is the Pat Ryan Team Spirit Award, which was created in memory of Telgian associate Pat Ryan. In 2020, the number of nominations submitted reached an all-time high. From amongst the many nominations submitted, three finalists were selected for their outstanding contributions. These include Director Information Technology Branko Mitkovski, Account Manager Cecilia Lopez and Security Designer John Carosello.
This award recognizes the spirit of teamwork that Ryan personified, and it is presented annually to the Telgian Team Associate who best embodies his example. Ryan dedicated his life’s work to the fire protection industry, with a distinguished career spanning 29 years in a variety of capacities. He served with the San Diego Fire Department, as Assistant San Diego Fire Marshal, as a successful Fire Protection Consultant, and as Western Regional Director for TVA.
A true team player, Ryan was not only an exceptional motivator, he was also willing to teach others patiently, delighting in the success of others. As coach and mentor, he was a good listener, genuine, and kind. His work ethic was never self-serving. Instead, he was sincerely passionate about the fire protection, life safety and security industry, the success of the company, and the wellbeing of its people.
The Pat Ryan Team Spirit Award seeks to honor those Telgian associates who follow in Ryan’s footsteps. And, the list of past recipients of the Pat Ryan Team Spirit Award includes many of Telgian’s most highly respected associates.
The winner of the 2020 award will be announced at the company’s annual general meeting (the annual general meeting will take place once Covid-19 travel restrictions are eased).
Congratulations go to, not only the three finalists, but also to the many Telgian associates whose outstanding contributions were recognized with nominations.
