MARCH 15 I PEAVEY I AWARD
Peavey Named Citizen of the Year

The Meridian Star has recognized Peavey Electronics' founder and CEO Hartley Peavey's ongoing commitment to his hometown, Meridian, Miss., by naming him Citizen of the Year.

"It's a testament to Peavey's commitment to his hometown that he's not only continued to keep his business here but that his business is continuing to grow and innovate," said Crystal Dupré, Meridian Star's publisher. "Meridian is lucky to have a man who has provided the type of consistency he has for this community."

Peavey attributes his company's success to the hard work, determination and enthusiasm of its employees.

"Peavey is a place where people can grow," Peavey said. "When I was younger, there was no place for me to grow — that's why I started Peavey Electronics. We're fortunate to have been able to give that same opportunity to more than 14,000 employees in Meridian through the years, and that means a lot to me. I want our young folks to realize that they can make it if they try."
