Motion furniture vendor Lane Furniture recognized top sales performers at its annual awards banquet Thursday.

The celebration included inductees in Lane's 2011 President's Club.

Tod Shepherd, Western region, received the Salesperson of the Year Award; and T.G. Smith, Southeast region, the Rookie of the Year. Luis Soto was recognized as the International Salesperson of the Year. Each of these winners surpassed established quotas and was instrumental in boosting overall sales for the company.

The President's club is awarded to five sales representatives (one per region) whose past year's performance, leadership and development of the region far exceeded expectations.  The 2011 President's Club will meet quarterly throughout 2012 and serve as a council to assist Lane with product development and organizational decisions, and serve as a field advisory board to Lane management.

2011 President's Club Members are Rick Eich, Amy Haley, Tod Shepherd, T.G. Smith and Jim Blonkowski.

Lane also recognized top performers per region for their accomplishment in signing up the most new accounts in 2011. Those winners included Kirk Thoms, David Workman, Mike Andrews, T.G. Smith, Mark Fenton and Aaron Cooley.

One of the last awards given was for years of service. Larry Sheets was recognized for his 30 years of outstanding contribution to Lane Furniture. 

"Hard work, creativity and perseverance have certainly paid off for these individuals," said Greg Roy, president of Lane. "I am so proud of their leadership and example. This year promises to be very successful for Lane thanks to our terrific retail partners and our strong sales, marketing and operational team that make up the Lane family."
