Churchill Downs Incorporated is Awarded 1st Place Top Workplaces Award in the Large Organizations Category

LOUISVILLE, KY., (October 24, 2024) – Churchill Downs Incorporated (“CDI”) was awarded first place in the large organizations category at the Top Workplaces Award Ceremony held at the Muhammad Ali Center on Wednesday evening.

“CDI is thrilled to be the recipient of the Top Places to Work award,” said Mark Whitten, Director of Community Relations at CDI. Every day we strive to make CDI the best place in Kentucky to work, and it is gratifying to know that our team members value their jobs as much as CDI values our team members. We are grateful for the honor of being included among this list of great employers. 

The Courier Journal’s Top Workplaces program celebrates employers that are going above and beyond to support their employees each year. Partnering with Energage, employees of nominated companies and organizations were surveyed about their workplace cultures. This year, the survey found that many workers in the Louisville area feel empowered to do their jobs, they receive the training they need and are passionate about what they do.

Along with the Top Workplace Award, special awards were given out for different categories including a Leadership Award that went to Bill Carstanjen, CEO of Churchill Downs Incorporated in the large organization category.
