During the event, CEO Allen Lund was commended for his support and participation in the Corporate Work Study Program.

They can become the very best and most talented people we have in society," said Allen Lund.
The Allen Lund Company has partnered with Verbum Dei's Corporate Work Study Program for over 10 years. ALC sees the program as an invaluable resource for the students. "Allen and his family are extraordinary human beings, they are always looking out for the community and they do it with an extraordinary family base," stated Timothy R. Busch, CEO, The Busch Firm.
Mike Smith with Bob Smith Toyota commented about Allen, "He has transformed the Catholic community in Monticello, Utah by building a Catholic Church and made it available to families and youth. Congratulations on this well deserved and well earned award, I know that it's nothing that you would want but everything you deserve."
The Corporate Work Study Program at Verbum Dei is a focal point at the high school as it's a means for businesses to make possible for students to have a college-preparatory education.
