Apex Award Goes to Sonya Sawyer, CFO of Home-Tech

Steve and Sonya Sawyer Apex AwardOur very own Sonya Sawyer, CFO of Home-Tech, sparkled up a storm last Saturday night at a glittering gala at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa in Estero, as she accepted the prestigious Apex Award presented by the Women In Business Committee of the Greater Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce. Sonya shared the award with the lovely and accomplished Kathryn Kelly, who spearheaded the Heights Foundation for a struggling local neighborhood.

9th Annual Apex Awards

Sonya’s accolades were well-deserved, as she’s lent her time, talents, and heart to a variety of local charities, including Habitat for Humanity, PACE Center for Girls, the American Heart Association, and so many more. Lovely both inside and out, Sonya made her entrance with chic platinum blonde short hair slicked back and wowed the crowd in form-fitting red gown. In fact her whole family — husband, Brian and kids, Brandon and Chloe were all coordinated with touches of red.home-tech family

This year marks the 9th annual Apex Awards, which means that Sonya joins an elite, respected, and high-profile group of community leaders. Around 200 guests kicked up their heels at the gala which included dancing and festive toasts. The theme of the evening was “Peacock” and the ball room was breathtaking, decked out in beautiful shades of blue.

A Special Dedication

Sonya was honored with a special video dedicated to her and her accomplishments. She and her children then graced the stage for her acceptance speech. She thanked her parents for giving her the platform (Home-Tech) to do so many things in the community. She dedicated her award to her two grandmothers who had both passed away this year.

Respect

Before the magical evening came to a close, Sonya joined past Apex Award winners on stage, as all the women donned blue feather boas and got their groove on while the band played Aretha Franklin’s “Respect”. There was last years winner, Mei-Mei Chan, publisher of the News-Press — along with restaurateur Sandra Stilwell in pink taffeta and financial expert and business owner, Gail Markham in a peacock patterned gown. Rounding out the kick line of local glitterati was Christin Collins of Golisano Children’s Hospital in traffic-stopping red, Samira Beckwith sparkling in elegant black, and more. Congratulations, Sonya, we’re proud as peacocks of you and all you do!

Employee Ownership

“The key difference is quite simple. Employees own the business,” says the CEO, Steve Marino. “I think it’s the perfect model for a service business in Southwest Florida. What we offer employees is a piece of their business. When someone is vested, when they own a stake in something, they are more likely to stay. What does this mean to our customers? Our employees really care that every experience you have, every service that is done is TOP NOTCH.”

When my fridge in my old house packed up, I called them immediately. Steve was pleasant and efficient. He offered me a years contract that would include the repair I had just called him out for. What a bargain! Great service and saved money too!
