The Diamondbacks have a lot to celebrate with their current winning record and shot to send quite a few players to the All-Star Game in July. Avnet has been doing some celebrating too – also at the ballpark.
One hundred and two Avnet employees recently got to enjoy a DBacks game celebrating the company’s 102 anniversary. In addition to attending a game, employees got to see the Avnet logo displayed on the pitcher’s mound and other logo placements throughout the ballpark as part of Avnet’s multi-year sponsorship with Diamondbacks. This was extra special for some employees who don’t typically get to attend events like this because of their job requirements in the office.
Then a few days later another team from Avnet attended a ballgame, where Avnet Vice President of Americas Sales Lou Copley got to throw out the first pitch. Copley oversees the Americas Geography Sales team for CORE, Corporate Accounts Services, Inside Sales and Customer Service. The trip to the ballpark was a special outing for the attendees of a District Manager training.
The Avnet and Diamondbacks partnership continues to offer outstanding opportunities for not only the community (see the blog on our recent STEM scholars) but employees as well.
