Diana Adams Receives the Rollins Inclusion Champion Award

Diana Adams, executive assistant to the co-presidents, has been named a Rollins Inclusion Champion Award recipient for her dedication to creating a workplace rooted in inclusion, recognition, and belonging. Diana’s recognition is also a powerful reflection of what it means to live the Northwest Way each and every day.

Each year, members of the Workplace Inclusion Advisory Council select one Inclusion Champion from their respective divisions or brands. Randy Wilhite, vice president of business development and a member of the council nominated Diana for this esteemed internal honor. Randy shared that her servant-hearted leadership and unwavering commitment to others made her a standout candidate. “Diana volunteers at multiple events, many times serving after office hours, and her dedication to making teammates with different interests feel welcomed and valued set her apart,” said Wilhite.

While Diana was genuinely surprised by the recognition, those who work alongside her at Northwest Exterminating’s Team Support Center were not. Diana has a natural way of making people feel seen and appreciated. You can often tell when someone has crossed paths with her; she leaves smiles in her wake. Whether she’s stopping by to say hello, checking in on a teammate’s weekend, or taking the time to truly listen, her genuine care for others is unmistakable. She’s even known to pop into a room just to share a joke and whether it’s good or delightfully bad, it’s guaranteed to brighten the day. “We are so grateful for all Diana does for us in front and behind the scenes! She has a customers first mindset and truly cares for everyone around her.” said Jeff Dunn, co-president of Northwest Exterminating. “We are fortunate to have someone who genuinely starts and ends her day asking how she can make a difference for the people around her. She deserves this recognition and more.”

Diana’s upbeat attitude is the epitome of starting each day with intentional optimism and finding the extraordinary in every situation. Diana helps create a culture where teammates feel like family. She exemplifies Northwest values through her everyday actions that make a meaningful and lasting impact.

The Workplace Inclusion Program is organized around three pillars of the Rollins Way of inclusion-centered behaviors that reflect excellence, empathy, and teamwork. The Inclusion Champion Award recognizes individuals who demonstrate heroic impact, essential togetherness, and a commitment to being remarkable, values that closely align with the Northwest Way of doing what is right, being humble and being extraordinary.

Congratulations to Diana Adams on this well-deserved honor. Her actions remind us that inclusion isn’t just a value; it’s something we live out every day through how we show up for one another.
