On Feb. 27, Optio Solutions hosted its Company Update & 2018 Employee Recognition Awards Ceremony at the corporate headquarters in Petaluma, with staff from its Fargo call center participating via internal webcast.
The update looked back on the last year and forward to 2019 growth and projections while the ceremony awarded employees with recognition and prizes. Separate luncheons followed the event in Petaluma and Fargo.
