"Stay Committed" - by CEO Kenny Hill

Well, fall is here and winter is just around the corner; my, how fast the seasons come and go. Hopefully, we'll have a dry fall and mild winter that will allow HBCC to get a jumpstart on newly awarded projects and continue to progress and finalize some of our ongoing projects. HBCC has a substantial amount of backlog along with the tools and the talent to perform it. I am quite optimistic about the outlook for 2010 and feel it could be one of HBCC's best.
I'm excited to tell you about our "New" Home Office. It's located just to the southwest of the original and we began moving in on September 21st. To date, all furniture has been moved in and job pictures are being placed on the walls. It will take a few months for everyone to get completely settled, organized and everything just right. A date has not been set, but in the spring we'll have an Open House and invite our co-workers, friends, family and community to come and see what a beautiful as well as efficient office Worsham Brothers constructed for HBCC. These guys have done a first class job, and I, for one, appreciate it very much.
A few words about our Safety Program: It should be noted that everyone is doing a great job promoting our safety program, and management will continue to stay focused on safety. We should put safety first in everything that we do! We depend on our veteran employees to be constant mentors to our newer employees and always make sure we keep them out of harm's way. I ask that our veteran employees make sure you have a plan and that you communicate your plan. Most accidents and mistakes occur due to the lack of communication and a failure to plan. Be Safe!

"That's just the way I am"

When we hear this, someone is usually telling us, "Get off my Back" or "Accept me as I am." Often it's a response to criticism. It could be about chronic lateness, thoughtlessness, or their verbal abuse. Whatever it is, they'reasking us to overlook their bad behavior. In the end, this is a ploy to get us to lower our expectations based on the idea that certain bad habits are a main part of character and therefore beyond our control. We're expected to believe it's foolish to expect a person to change. There are, of course, lots of physical things that are beyond our control: short stature, big bones, receding hairline. Fortunately, character is different. It's completely within our control. The poor and the rich, the slow and the smart, the plain and the pretty all have an equal opportunity to become people of character. Sure, character can be influenced by heredity and environment, but it's determined by choice. No disposition, circumstance, or experience is so powerful that it forever fixes our character. Character is never finished. It's constantly shaped by the choices we make to nurture or ignore our more noble instincts and to surrender to negative motives or corrupting temptations.
When it comes to what we demand of ourselves or others, we should never lower our standards. Character is your choice. Weaknesses and bad habits are not excuses not to become better human beings.

Corporate Ethics & EEO Officer

Since the onset of construction in March 2009 on the new Hill Brothers' Office, there are several Hill Brothers' employees who have had to take on added responsibilities and tasks above and beyond their daily routines in order to oversee this project and we commend each of you. However, someone had to be in charge and be considered the "Go-To"person for communication purposes on all the various aspects of the building. She has spent numerous hours involved in planning, scheduling, coordinating and finalizing numerous details to make certain the new office would have the desired modern conveniences and meet the demands of its' day to day activities. This is why I am nominating Lana Hill to receive the "Employee of the Month/Core Values Champion" for Nov/Dec 2009. "Thanks Lana for your time, effort and dedication put forth on this very important project." I know everyone is appreciative and pleased with the end result.
