Senior vp Moore wins retailer's highest honor

DSN Retailing Today, April 11, 2005 by Mike Troy

Mike Moore, a senior vice president of operations with Wal-Mart, was recently named the recipient of the retailer's highest honor, the Sam M. Walton Entrepreneur Award.

The award is given annually to a Wal-Mart associate who exemplifies the characteristics of company founder Sam Walton and embodies the Wal-Mart corporate culture. The Walton family selects the recipient of the award after reviewing submissions from senior executives.

While business contributions are an important consideration, equally important are factors such as leadership and community involvement. In Moore's case, he served as vice president of operations for south Florida in 2004 when the state was devastated by three hurricanes to make landfall in a one-month period. Moore spearheaded Wal-Mart's relief efforts as the retailer donated merchandise and its employees rendered aid to co-workers and residents of damaged communities. Moore also ensured that Wal-Mart stores damaged by the storms quickly resumed operations.
