TSYS Named Newest Honoree in Georgia Business History Initiative - Seite 2

“As TSYS celebrates its 35th anniversary this year, we are honored to be included in the GHS Business History Initiative and recognized for having a significant, positive impact on the great state of Georgia," said M. Troy Woods, chairman, president and chief executive officer of TSYS. "We are proud to call Georgia home, as we work to provide innovative payment solutions for people and businesses around the world. This marker is a strong reminder of the power people can have in their communities, and the TSYS Case Study is one of the tools we are using to prepare the next generation of technology talent by encouraging students throughout the state to pursue careers in technology, programming and cybersecurity."

“Everyone knows that Georgia is a great place to do business,” added Groce. “But it is fundamentally important that we teach the next generation of business and government leaders about the Georgia-grown companies that helped us reach this level of sustainable success.”

The Honorable Teresa Tomlinson, Mayor of Columbus, was also on hand for the dedication. The marker text was read by Ms. Sherry Fredrick, the longest-tenured TSYS team member. Several elementary school children were invited to assist in the unveiling of the marker as it was being read.

TSYS is the first company in Columbus to be included in the Business History Initiative.
