Principle Auto Group’s Post

Thanks to the philanthropy of Principle VOLVO, BMW, MINI, INFINITI, and Hyundai, over $45,000 was raised for United Way last year. Charities that will benefit from these donations include Lifetime Recovery, ThriveWell, Haven for Hope, Child Safe, Blessings in a Backpack, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America—our sincere appreciation goes to our participating associates. You have upheld our Purpose, "Helping people live a better life," with genuine generosity. We commend Principle Hyundai of Boerne for garnering the highest percentage of participation among the listed dealerships. Maggie King and Chrishawn Henderson from Principle BMW of San Antonio elected Haven for Hope as their division's charity. They led their division to 1st place in their category with the highest percentage increase in donations from the previous year. Congratulations on the successful initiative and the donation to Haven for Hope! We look forward to another successful campaign for United Way charities in the year ahead!

University Health Daisy Award Nurses and 2023 Nurse of the Year We are honored to host a Nurse of The Year luncheon in August, in recognition of all the remarkable UHS Daisy Award Nurses who consistently deliver exceptional care to our community. As a heartfelt gesture of appreciation from Principle Auto, the Nurse of the Year will have their selection of Principle Auto vehicles to drive for an entire year! Every nominee carries an extraordinarily unique story of their path to becoming the exceptional nurse they are today. Below is one of the nominee stories coming next week. To stay up-to-date on these remarkable narratives, please visit the Principle Auto Facebook page at https://bit.ly/UHSNOTY Jesusita's journey to nursing was sparked while her newborn son received around-the-clock nursing care that ultimately saved his life. This experience ignited a dedication to extending the same kindness and compassion to others in need. She brightens the days of both patients and colleagues alike with her remarkable ability to evoke smiles and laughter, even amid tumultuous times. Patients have marveled at this gift, describing it as ‘a wonder to see.’ One patient beautifully expressed, 'Her unwavering kindness, even during the most demanding hours, is a testament to her exceptional character. Knowing her has genuinely enriched my life.'

The Purpose Statement for Principle Auto is “To Be a Trusted, Caring Friend Helping People Move Through Life in a Sustainable Way.” This statement is usually about providing our Guests with a transparent, efficient purchase and lease process in Sales and a quick, thorough maintenance process in Service. Recently, we discovered that this Purpose also applies to what we can do for our Associates, to help THEM move through life in a more sustainable way. Today, we celebrated our first graduating class for those Associates that completed a Spanish to English course to help them learn to communicate better in English. This course was provided at no cost to the Associates and was completely voluntary. Several Associates had previously requested this type of training on their Individual Development Plans and our Leadership saw this as an opportunity. Their eagerness to enhance their communication skills will not only benefit them and the organization in their professional life, but in everyday interactions in their personal life as well. A professional from San Antonio’s SEFLA Languages taught a class of 15 to 20 Associates every week for several weeks. They commented that our Associates had fun and were very enthusiastic during the whole process. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this happen from the Leadership at the Home Office that researched and set up the program to the Leaders at the Stores that covered shifts and time to allow the Associates to attend.

It was pleasure to host such an amazing group of leaders!
