“Win or lose, this process has brought our team even closer and has been a rewarding experience. The SME family including our employees, clients, partners, and supporters are all a part of this success.” – Katlyn Patzwald, Corporate Marketing
SME Solutions Group relied on their strong company culture focused on collaboration to usher them to the finalist stage for the 5-20 employee category.

“In my mind, getting this far in the process is a true reflection of the hard work and dedication of our employees, our families, and the trust that our clients and partners have in SME. While we are considered a small business in this process, SME’s success has been no small feat.”Chris Moyer, President & CEO
