History of EDMF Winners
Every-Day MFerslincoln ne news
In 2019, Capitol City Electric had a speaker come talk about practices used to help with team morale and culture. One of the ideas he spoke most highly about was the employee recognition belt. After this event, CCE decided to create a similar concept. CCE awarded the first EDMF belt in August 2019 to Shawn Mencl.

Here’s how it works: the belt is held for two weeks, and must be passed between Office/Field/Shop by the person with the belt. Basically, an employee is awarded the belt based on an action/performance they completed that was above and beyond their usual tasks.

Kody Wadas – October 2019
“Basically, Kody went to Northeast Community College to finish some pole bases. Kody accepted the challenge and drove to Norfolk. Him and one other guy knocked out the job in about 3 days. They worked a lot of long hour days to get the job done in 3 days and Kody had to leave his family behind for 3-4 days since he stayed in Norfolk during that time to finish the job. Because of that, Kody deserved to be recognized as EDMF champ. “

Craig Ideus – December 2019
“I’m giving the EDMF belt to Craig Ideus at SCC Milford. Likewise, I’d give it to everyone out there if I could, but I’ll give it to the leader on site. They have been working a lot of overtime and Saturdays to get that project over the finish line, to meet the end of the year deadline. Undeniably, their commitment to success out there is a great statement to the CCE standard of delivering a project on time and up to the quality that an owner will value. At this point, there are a lot of moving pieces for getting this project completed. With this in mind, Craig has done a great job developing those and managing the schedule to ensure everything gets completed.”
