PAGE Named a 2020 Top Workplace

The Professional Association of Georgia Educators earned a Top Workplaces 2020 honor by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The award is the result of stellar rankings by PAGE employees, who responded to an anonymous third-party survey designed to measure top drivers of engaged workplace cultures. Of the nearly 3,000 contest participants, PAGE ranked 13th among the 65 total winners within the “small companies” (fewer than 149 employees) category.

“PAGE earned recognition as a top workplace because of excellent people who enjoy serving educators and Georgia public education,” said Executive Director Craig Harper. “We take care of one another and our members like family.”
