Issue 1, Vol. 2 | January 2019
Once again, SKYGEN USA employees did not disappoint with their giving spirit this holiday season! I am happy that our great team was able to participate in a worthwhile event. This shows that we are a mission-driven organization; helping the Medicare and Medicaid communities that we serve daily. I am proud to be part of a company whose employees give of themselves and back to their local community.

Anthony Ave Call Center Gets FesƟve Things got a little “ugly” - in a good way - in the Anthony Ave Call Center on Thursday, December 6. Team members wore their ugliest holiday sweaters and apparel to celebrate the season. Prizes were given for most creative sweater and desk décor. A festive time was had by all!
Happy ReƟrement Barb PoyƟnger! On Thursday, December 20, team members at Anthony Avenue helped Barb celebrate her retirement from SKYGEN USA with a potluck lunch. Delicious food was eaten, stories and memories were shared, well-wishes were given, and a tear or two might have been shed. While we will miss Barb, she looks forward to enjoying her retirement by spending more time with her family and traveling. Thanks to everyone who contributed and stopped by to wish Barb good luck on her future endeavors!

Respect is a deep admiration for our company, clients, and co-workers. It can range from skills or abilities, to specific achievements, or a quality that has been exhibited day in and day out. Each day I am thankful to live in a country where so many have sacrificed for my freedoms, to have the opportunity to come to work for a company that I RESPECT with so much potential, vision, and generosity. And most importantly show RESPECT for others as I know so many here work so hard to make us successful. Many go unnoticed, so it is important to slow down, listen to others, reflect, and honor them for their contributions. Bryant Renn VP of Strategic Initiatives

This is a hard one for me. I can’t decide between sagas...either Resident Evil or Saw.
Guilty pleasure movie probably has to be Leap Year. That Amy Adams movie. Or granted pretty much any Hallmark movie. ~ Alex Garcia
