## Kriete Group 2018 Awards Ceremony

Celebrating achievements is an important part of success and celebrating together makes those achievements feel even better. This year, over 300 people from across the entire Kriete Group family joined in to celebrate our success at the American Club. We recognized our industry award winners and accolades, looked back at dealership improvements, organizational expansions, and we reflected on a record-setting year for the Kriete Group as a whole. And, as always, we honored the highest achievers within our organization. And we had a little bit of fun while doing it.
