We’ve brought a lot of new faces into our sales organiza- tion, so this was a great chance to get the team together and readdress everything from strategy to process. Overall, both forums were very productive and led to many action items that will drive improvement. Robroy’s commitment is to Lead the Way. This means doing things differently, but in a way that adds value and improves the experience for all. We’ve set a high bar and we’ll always strive to achieve it. I would like to express my appreciation to our associates, customers and con- stituents for all of their hard work and contributions. I would also like to thank our local communities for their support. For generations Gilmer, Texas and Belding, Michigan have been invaluable partners to our operations. Together we’ve helped our businesses and communi- ties thrive. Let’s keep it going for generations to come. Thanks all and have a great summer! Rob McIlroy | CEO Ready for service 1 TIPS FROM I.T.
