"Thrasher Basement Systems is honored to be the recipient of this year's Young Professionals Choice Award," said Greg Thrasher, owner and president of Thrasher Basement Systems, Inc. "At Thrasher we recognize the important roles that our young professionals play in the organization. We have placed them in positions of authority with an aim to give them the right balance of guidance and freedom. We've empowered them to be innovative and creative, and in their leadership roles they have soared. Our company has experienced significant growth under their direction and it has been exciting to see."
Award finalists included Cox, Mutual of Omaha, Olsson Associates and TD Ameritrade. The Young Professionals Choice Award selection committee toured each business, where they met with the management team and a small group of young professionals.
"Thrasher Basement Systems was a finalist in 2009 and stepped up their efforts even more in 2010," said Sarah Johnson, manager of the Greater Omaha Young Professionals. "Part of the selection committee's attraction to the company was the feeling of strong loyalty and empowerment among their employees. When we asked their young professionals what one thing they would change, they said 'nothing.' Anything they wanted to change, they just changed."
