As an organization, we take great pride in our company, and are very appreciative of the dedicated efforts of all our employees. Honoring the achievements of our employees is an important part of the Larry H. Miller Group’s history.
Each year, employees who work within each of the LHM dealerships have the opportunity to be a part of the Society of Excellence program. Their outstanding performance places them in the top 2% of their peers within the entire Larry H. Miller Dealership organization.
The annual award honors those who demonstrate outstanding achievements in the fields of fixed operations (service, parts, and collision), finance & insurance, and automotive sales. Congratulations to all the awardees!
“The Society of Excellence program is significant in that it not only recognizes their incredible personal achievement but also their considerable contribution to the overall success of their dealership in 2020.”
