Safety Management Systems (SMS), a division of Acadian Companies, is proud to announce that Marketing and Communications Coordinator Stacey Armand has been selected as the recipient of the prestigious 2026 Acadian Spirit Award.
The annual award recognizes individuals who exemplify professional excellence, outstanding customer service, dedication to the community, and an unwavering commitment to the company’s core values.
While her official title is coordinator, colleagues frequently refer to Armand as the unofficial “cultural architect” of the organization. She is renowned for elevating workplace morale and making employee well-being a top priority.
“Stacey possesses a rare knack for making every employee feel seen, appreciated, and essential to the team,” her nomination form noted. “Whether she is managing a high-pressure campaign or hand-writing a thank-you note, she does so with a level of grace and positivity that elevates everyone around her.”
Armand’s passion for service extends well past the office walls, demonstrating her commitment to strengthening her local community through leadership and hands-on volunteerism. In her free time, Armand volunteers at local animal shelters and nonprofit organizations.
