We won the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Best Place to Work award in 2024 (in the 51 to 300 employee category).
The Best Place to Work Award is given to a business that has honest leadership with a clear vision and identity. Employees want to know where the company is pointed, what the company believes in and what everyone is working toward. They provide “flexible” growth for employees and a culture of collaboration. Great places to work are open about how the company is performing and craves honest feedback from its employees. They hire passionate people. And most of all these businesses create a fun atmosphere.

2023 TEP Social Impact Copper Cactus Awards for the $2M+ category.
This award recognizes a nonprofit group that has made a significant contribution to Southern Arizona. In 2024 special emphasis will be noted to those organizations who are making social impact in our local community. We define social impact as having a positive effect on people and communities that happens as a result of an action, activity, project, program or policy. The winner in this category will demonstrate how they improved the quality of life for the individuals they serve specifically over the last year through their programs, services, and effective management. Organizations must also show how they provide an excellent work environment and culture for their employees, as well as stay current with emerging trends in their field of work.

Libby’s Story
“I was 9 years old when it happened. I was left with my 4 siblings and my mother, who struggled with addiction. I have not seen my father since he was deported to Mexico. As a result, my grandmother suddenly became the primary supporting guardian of 5 children, ranging from 3-13. We had nowhere to turn to except Higher Ground. My grandma received basic needs and resources from them. More importantly, they gave us opportunities and a home away from home. Through Higher Ground, I have been a judo and jujitsu state champion, traveled to many cities, graduated high school while managing my high school football team where my two younger siblings play, and now I’m building my professional experiences at Higher Ground.”
