MAD Awards
Making A Difference means going “above and beyond” the usual work requirements!
What is MAD?
At CMG Atlanta Radio we try to hire only the "Best of the Best." With such high standards, much is expected of employees -- both full-time and part-time - every day including:
- Sound preparation
- Flawless execution
- Professional deportment
And now, in a natural extension of our expectations, we intend to recognize "The Best of The Best of The Best" with some really great awards!
What is MAD?
THE $5,000 ANNUAL M.A.D. AWARD
Each January CMG Atlanta Radio holds our annual Make A Difference "Herbies" Awards Ceremony. One employee from each of the workgroups will be recognized for her/his outstanding performance of going above and beyond over the course of the previous year. All but one of those winners will receive a $1,000 cash award in appreciation of her/his extraordinary efforts.
One of the finalists will be selected as the overall M.A.D. annual difference-maker and will receive a $5,000 cash award in appreciation of her/his efforts.
