In 2019, the Waugh Award was established to honor our co-founder, Dennis Waugh.
Denny, as many people know him, retired in 2018 after 37 years with the company. His vision and the efforts he took to make Origin Design (founded as IIW Associates P.C.) what it is today are at the heart of this award.
Named in honor of Denny, the Waugh Award recognizes an Origin Design employee that supports and furthers our Mission-Vision-Values. One award is granted annually and is based on the current year’s performance for the individual nominated.
“I have a great deal of confidence in this next generation of employee owners, and I’m very enthused about their capabilities and dedication to the same mission as its founders. We do not want that to change.”
Dennis Waugh Co-Founder
Our employees are what make us - US. The Waugh Award is a remarkable way to recognize their efforts, while also paying tribute to our co-founder, Denny.
Laurie Wehrspann
Accounting Assistant
“I am truly honored to be this year’s recipient of the Waugh Award. I had the privilege of working with Denny for over 20 years. Since his retirement in 2018, it’s a wonderful tribute to him that even today we continue to honor his vision with an award focused on the company’s Mission, Vision, and Values.”
