Making Local Matter

At CPI, Making Local Matter is more than a saying. It's a commitment our employees demonstrate every day through their dedication to safety, exceptional customer service, and involvement in the communities we serve.

The Making Local Matter Awards recognize CPI employees who go above and beyond to make a positive impact on their coworkers, customers, and communities.

Know someone who deserves recognition? CPI employees, customers, and patrons are encouraged to nominate a team member who exemplifies what Making Local Matter is all about. All current CPI employees are eligible.
