For the third straight year, Discover’s Utah Customer Care Center has been named a top company in Utah by the Best of State award program. The center was recognized as a Top Financial Institution in the business services category.

“Discover continuously looks for ways to add value for our customers, employees and communities,” said Clint Morley, vice president at Discover's Customer Care Center in Lake Park. “This Best of State recognition is an incredible achievement and reinforces our commitment to contributing to the community in a positive manner.”

The Best of State awards program was created to recognize outstanding individuals, organizations and businesses in Utah that demonstrate excellence in the community and use innovative business approaches and methods to excel. More than 100 judges reviewed the applications and assigned numerical scores for each of the judging criteria. Nominees were evaluated on categories such as community service, charitable contributions, family friendly employment policies, environmentally sound practices or policies, increased employment opportunities and cultural contributions.
