VIRGINIA BEACH., April 21, 2008 - GEICO honored Jason Burnside of Moyock, N.C., and Bruce Krakower of Virginia Beach, Va., with a Corporate Quality Award during special ceremonies today in Washington, D.C.

Burnside has worked at GEICO for four years at the Virginia Beach, Va., regional office and is currently a regional systems coordinator.

Krakower, who has worked for GEICO for nine years at its Virginia Beach, Va., location, currently serves as a lead programmer analyst. He added, "It is very satisfying to know that all the long hours, hard work and acquired knowledge actually impacts the GEICO bottom line in a tangible way, and to see that effect."
