Technician Tenure Award by Porsche Cars, North America
Gary Slate has received the Technician Tenure Award
Gary is a Porsche Gold Certified Technician of 35 years.
The 190 independently owned and operated U.S. Porsche dealerships have some of the industry's most experienced hands taking care of cars for customers. The new Technician Tenure Award is meant to honor them. From now on, the recognition will go annually to those with 20, 30, 40, and 50-plus years of technician work.
PCNA is unveiling the Technician Tenure Award as the automotive industry is experiencing major shifts, including higher turnover among dealership technicians. Porsche is bucking that trend. Of the more than 1,300 current Porsche technicians in the U.S., 126 of them have spent 20 or more years with the company, a testament to the brand and to employee engagement. Combined, the technicians honored in this first round of awards have 4,067 years of experience working on Porsche cars.
Designed by Dustin Gilleland at Porsche Cars North America's headquarters in Atlanta, each of the 18-pound steel awards are hand-fabricated by Fuller Moto in Atlanta. The award's backdrop represents the roofline and signage of the original Porsche factory in Stuttgart, Germany. The curved front of each award represents the updated Generation 4 design of current Porsche dealerships. Each award also features a cut section of a Porsche ceramic composite brake rotor as a symbol of the work technicians do and a model car to represent the decade the technician joined Porsche.
