Here is the email that I sent to our employees yesterday. We are all riding a high this week because of our move into creative new space and now this huge honor that was rather unsuspecting and humbling:

Subject: Wow - huge honor given to eROI today
Team,
At the Portland Business Journal award ceremony luncheon for the Oregon’s Most Admired Companies (voted by 2,000 CEOs from around the state), eROI was honored today in a pretty big way. There were 8 industry categories (Financial, Real Estate, Professional Services, Non-Profit, etc), and the 9th one was the “Across All Industries” category which is like the ‘Championship Series.’
I’m still pinching myself to see if it was real, but was on stage with the CEOs and a few company representatives of all 1,000-employee companies or bigger as the top 10 most admired companies in Oregon. We are the underdog and the little guys/gals, but we’re getting recognized on a huge scale by CEOs/companies around the state.
Here is the list:
1. Nike
2. Columbia Sportswear
3. Intel
4. Leatherman Tool Group
5. Precision Castparts
6. Umpqua Bank
7. OHSU
8. eROI, Inc.
Tied: NW Natural
10. A-dec, Inc.
We should all be incredibly proud as this is a MAJOR deal. Thank you for all the amazingly talented work and hard work you’ve put in this year and throughout your time at eROI. I truly think we can make our mark on the world if we keep on our current trajectory of amazing creative and innovation in everything we do.
Cheers,
Ryan
