Shearer’s Foods honored Ken Brower, Brewster Plant Manager, as the Jack and Rosemary Shearer 2008 Associate of the Year at their annual Associate Appreciation Dinner on May 5, 2009. With this honor goes a trophy and prize of $2,500.00. Randy Whisler, Vice President of Operations, had this to say about Ken: “He is friendly and approachable by all, and not only cares about the success of Shearer’s, but also very much cares about the success of each of the associates. It is a pleasure and honor to work with Ken.
Mr. Brower was selected for this award from the 2008 Department Associates of the Year: Cory Aguon, Processing; Mildred Bainter, Packaging; Lori Bantum, Machine Operator; Matt Bergmeyer, Warehouse; Jared Goetz, Pittsburgh Branch; Ron Gump, Sanitation; David Jackson, Youngstown Branch; Ernie McCarty, Quality Assurance; Tim Myers, Maintenance; Dan Piwinski, Cleveland Branch; Carrie Powell, Administration; and Quinn Stallings, Massillon Branch.
Todd Brahler, Director of Co-Pack Sales, received the 2008 Shearer’s Community Service Award for his work with the First Glance project in Kenmore, Ohio. This annual award is given to an associate, who gives their own personal time to help the local, regional, national or international community. A $1,000 prize is donated in the associate’s name to their charity.

Smith, Massillon Warehouse Shift Manager, was honored for his Twenty Years of Service with a gold watch.
