Memorable Customer Interaction: There have been many customer interactions during my 21 years here at Alpine Communications. I will say one of the most memorable was how our team came together during COVID to make sure customers could stay in touch with friends and family, continue working to take care of their families, and keep students learning during the pandemic. We had some great leadership that not only kept our customers in mind but our employees’ health and safety.
