Top Workplaces Nevada event held Sept. 29: EVENT PHOTOS

The awards ceremony for the 2021 Top Workplaces Nevada was held Wednesday afternoon at the Area15. John Guedry, CEO Bank of Nevada, was the keynote speaker and painted an overall economic picture of the state that included challenges and opportunities. In his talk, he referenced an economic development report on Nevada that was produced by Brookings. He also talked about the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance’s Workforce Blueprint 2.0.

Vegas Chamber President and CEO Mary Beth Sewald led a panel discussion with Alex De Castroverde, founder of De Castroverde Law Group, and Brooke Stream, human resources director for the city of Henderson, on work/life balance in the digital office age.

Celebrities were on hand to give out special awards. They included Comedian George Wallace, via digital; Carnell “Golden Pipes” Johnson, national anthem singer for the Vegas Golden Knights; and Daniel Emmet, Las Vegas headliner and “America’s Got Talent” finalist.

Bob Helbig, media partnership director with Energage, a Philadelphia-based research company, explained the extensive employee survey process.

“The companies who are here today are here because their employees said they should be here,” he told the audience of about 200.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal’s 7@7 Digital Anchor Renee Summerour was the emcee for the event. Chase Rankin, senior vice president of advertising for the newspaper, gave the opening remarks. Tom Heaton, senior advertising director, announced the the rankings for the 2021 Top Workplaces Nevada.
