On April 18, 2023, Colgate held its first service awards ceremony since 2019. The service awards dinner is traditionally an annual event, honoring Colgate staff members who have reached five-year service milestones — from a half-decade to 30 years and beyond.
This year, all staff members who reached their milestones during the COVID-19 pandemic were honored, along with the staff members who reached their milestones in 2023.
Staff members gathered in the Hall of Presidents for a cocktail hour and dinner. Christopher Wells, vice president for administration, welcomed the guests and President Casey gave remarks. The awards were presented by Lori Chlad, associate vice president of human resources, who retired at the end of April after 42 years of service.
