Nomination Excerpts

I would like to recognize and nominate Victor Torres for the Prime Player Award. Victor has been an outstanding member of the Arizona Branch Counseling group for more than 22 years. Victor goes far above and beyond with his clients during his counseling sessions.Victor is well-known and admired in his community for the work he does with his clients.

During the weekends, he volunteers his time at his church to help members with their financial questions/concerns. He is often called on to visit folks at their homes or in the hospital when they have fallen ill or been injured. Victor has relationships with local grocery stores in his community. In the past, the stores have given him their 'almost out-dated food' in which he passes out to low-income families in his area during the weekends.

Victor truly is a selfless person who is constantly thinking of ways to help those around him. Victor inspires and respects his clients, his coworkers and definitely his management team. When you interact with Victor, you can’t help but want to be better at what you do and do more of what you can for others. – Sandra Dale, nominating manager
