— Express Employment Professionals in Terre Haute recently donated scholarships to the Indiana State University Bodybuilding and Fitness Extravaganza.
“The scholarship money will aid students at ISU with educational expenses. We admire the discipline and commitment the athletes display. It’s not easy to dedicate the time required to participate in such a competition and be a full-time student,” said Anita Crane, owner of Express.
A number of scholarships were given in various dollar amounts based on how participants placed. The competitors were judged on four categories: muscular size and development, symmetry and proportion, definition and vascularity and stage presence.
“Express is committed to raising the level of education for both the present and future generations,” Crane said. “This donation will not only build on that future, it will help hardworking students continue their education.”
The Terre Haute Express office has been donating scholarships to local colleges since opening. “We feel committed to give back to the Wabash Valley,” Crane said. “Without our clients and associates we could not be successful. I hope our educational assistance will help those who have helped us. Those students might be the sons or daughters of our associates, and will be the future professionals of Terre Haute.”
The Terre Haute Express office began operation in 1996 and services the Wabash Valley with temporary and full-time employees in a variety of fields including office services, industrial, data processing, technical and marketing along with human resource services such as an HR hotline, ePay online payroll system, HR audit, Organizational Effectiveness Survey, employee handbook creation and training.
With 600 offices internationally, Oklahoma City-based Express Services’ client base extends through four nations and employs 343,000 people annually. Company sales totaled nearly $2 billion in 2007.
Today, Express operates multiple lines, including temporary staffing/evaluation and direct hire; contract and executive recruiting and placement; and customized work-place services.
