While our colleagues at Bird Electric Enterprises, LLC are hard at work restoring power for utility customers impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the rest of the Black & Veatch family is also pitching into recovery efforts. Teams from Overland Contracting Inc. delivered close to 10,000 bottles of water and other vital hydration supplies to a church serving locals in the Boone, North Carolina, area. Black & Veatch professional Garret Hooper took to the skies to help deliver crucial supplies with Operation Airdrop Inc, flying from Westchester, Pennsylvania, to northwestern North Carolina. Another of our professionals, Valerie Antaki, got the whole family in on the act, driving supplies from Georgia to South Carolina, where residents at the time were still without power, water, gas and other essentials. We are grateful to these team members for embodying our values, and to everyone who has contributed to relief efforts. Thank you for all that you do!

At our recent Global Leadership Summit in Kansas City, we paused to take a photo of the incredible mosaic of our leaders from across the company using a remote-controlled aerial drone. And while drone photography may now be commonplace, our team has found more uses for drones to push our safety culture forward. Kristopher Lankford, MS, CSP, one of our team members at Overland Contracting Inc., explained how drones were used to safely “access” elevated work so tower climbing professionals had safe access/egress and could safely work at heights without putting another professional in harm’s way. Its success prompted other areas of the company to embrace drone capabilities including drone mapping, aerial imaging to plan storm response, new site evaluation to develop work safety plans, safety audits in difficult-to-reach locations, and workforce training through digital media that unites our field training and evaluation teams. From a simple group photo to dozens of applications that enhance #Safety and drive #Innovation across our organization, drones are part of how we’re leading clients into the future. The Leadership Summit was also an opportunity to celebrate the people and actions that move our culture forward with two awards given by Chairman and CEO Mario Azar. The first honor, the CEO Safety Award, is annually granted to a project, team or individual demonstrating an unwavering commitment to safety and health excellence. This year, however, Mario recognized one of each. The Project CEO Safety Award was presented to Traister Robert, who accepted on behalf of the entire project team in the Philippines, the Team CEO Safety Award was given to Bethany McDonald and our Condition Assessment Team, and the Individual CEO Safety Award was given to Brandon Nye. The second honor, the inaugural CEO Culture and Employee-Ownership Award, was given to Richard Horne for exemplifying the values, ethics and principles that define our culture. “A culture leader maintains a positive work environment and sets a high standard for others,” said Mario. “They lead by example, fostering transparency, trust and respect, and are committed to their team’s growth. They also demonstrate social responsibility and inspire others through their community involvement.” Congratulations, CEO Award winners!
