The Silver Toaster Award for
Employee Excellence in Lean

The Silver Toaster Award is presented annually at GBMP’s Northeast Lean Conference to one outstanding employee who has embraced Lean - who performs his or her job exceptionally well, always with Lean in mind, who helps others implement Lean concepts, and who exemplifies the Vision, Values and Standards of the Award. 2025 will be the 17th year of the award! Wow!

Winners are chosen based on the nominees' qualities as presented in the nomination form. The Award was developed to celebrate Employee Excellence and recognize the contributions of staff to the success of an organization's Lean implementation and transformation. All nominees will be acknowledged for their exceptional contributions to their organizations during the conference, but only one will receive the Silver Toaster Award.
