December 2014 was a busy month but we were able to top the year off with another epic holiday party, this time at Sequoia in Georgetown! There were cocktails, mini sliders, dancing, dancing and more dancing! The Grants team made the most of our cool DJ with quite a few enthusiastic screams of "That's my jam!" and it was great to see a few former Hanoverians in attendance.

LAUNCHING HANOVER PRIDE Hanoverians added a new affinity group in early 2015 Hanover Pride - to support LGBTQ employees and Hanover's efforts to promote our company as an inclusive employer with an open, safe environment for all employees. We are looking forward to seeing more community outreach efforts led by this new affinity group in 2015. Read more about the group on our careers blog. "That's my jam!" 2015 is already poised to be another record-setting year for Hanover. We plan on growing our Sales and Account Management teams quite aggressively this year as well as investing in our branding initiatives.

Hanover Recruiters in Action @hanoverresearch -Marcelle Wood, CHRO Our recruiters are traveling across the states this spring, looking for the best talent to add to Hanover's Content, Sales, and Account Solutions teams. In 2015, they've already hopped up and down the Eastern seaboard. 2014 FIRMWIDE MEETING Follow our Instagram @hanoverresearch and use the hashtag #hanoverishiring if you see us! REFLECTING ON SUCCESS We continued the tradition created last year of annual content team awards and employee awards, combining the event with our firmwide meeting. The tone of the firmwide meeting was relaxed, with each department providing a brief overview of wins for the year as well as a snapshot of ongoing projects and planned initiatives for 2015. Based on employee feedback after last year's awards, we added a new award category of Leadership & Mentorship to the list. Employees nominated fellow employees for the awards and the executive team made the final selection based on the nominations and the supporting statements. The only award that is 100% based on employee nominations and votes is the Firm Citizenship award. We were honored to be able to present the following staff with the 2014 awards: 2 Business Builder - Will Hea Thought Leadership & Innovation - Jesse Wertheim Client Service Award - Kathryn Hallett Leadership & Mentorship - Anirban Ghosh Firm Citizenship - Betty Jeanne Cupcheck Will Hea Jesse Wertheim Kathryn Hallett Anirban Ghosh Hanover swag was a hit at Georgetown!

'TWAS AND IS THE SEASON FOR GIVING! ANGEL TREE BRIGHTENS THE HOLIDAYS Hanover provided toys and clothing to 95 local children for the holiday season through Salvation Army's Angel Tree program. We placed trees on both floors at 4401 Wilson and the tags were snapped up in record time. Staff teamed up to ensure that every item on every child's list was covered. It took two trips and a big truck to get all the bicycles, scooters, cribs, car seats, and other wonderful toys to the Salvation Army. Despite it being the final month of the year with all the deadlines and revenue goals, Hanoverians embraced the spirit of the season and were immeasurably generous.
