## Story

The Exemplar Award, previously titled Franchisee of the Year, is awarded to the CarePatrol franchisee who displays the highest level of excellence in leadership, performance and compliance within the CarePatrol franchise system throughout the year.

“Being the recipient of the 2022 Exemplar Award was such an honor for my team and me,” said Wake. “When I looked back at the previous 30 years in my former positions, I had never made an impact like I have with my CarePatrol clients. It is very rewarding to be able to help seniors and their families find workable solutions during a very stressful time. The award is a tribute to the members of our team who work with our seniors and their families doing the right thing every day, building our reputation in the areas we serve. I was thrilled to be able to accept the award on behalf of our team.”

In addition to announcing awards within the network, the conference was held to help energize the CarePatrol teams and provide new tools and insights on making the most significant impact possible for franchisees and the families that CarePatrol serves. The schedule was full of expert guest speakers, networking, fundraising and informative breakout sessions. The CarePatrol system raised over $15,000 for the Alzheimer's Association.

"All of CarePatrol is so proud to be able to recognize Sandi as the recipient of the 2022 Exemplar Award. She is the definition of a leader and an example of what it means to be a successful business owner and meaningful member of the communities she serves," said Becky Bongiovanni, co-founder and president of CarePatrol.

"Hosting an annual event to recognize our CarePatrol family's dedication and share new information and initiatives is a rewarding experience for all. Thank you to our caring and courageous franchisees for making a difference and to our compassionate presenters.”
