Recognizing Exceptional Performance

Each year, APC’s Waya Award honors a professional’s contributions and quality service to our clients with special acknowledgment for their dedication and exemplary work.

Cherokee for “Wolf,” the Waya is a sacred animal to Native Americans and symbolizes family, teamwork, intelligence, dignity, respect, pride in work, loyalty, and success of a mission.
