W
e build community with care.
Our mission statement expresses this as
one of our company's core values.
From the Latin word "communitatem,"
community means "fellowship" in
addition to its more familiar
meaning of people living in
a common location.
Throughout these pages,
you'll find interesting
stories and information
about some of the
ways our company and
our employees build
community and fellowship
in the communities where
we work and live.
Along with our focus on education-
oriented projects, our employees are
involved in education and outreach
programs for students of all ages.
Many of our employees volunteer
their time to support organizations
that help the community through
health programs, research,
awareness and education. As
a company, we sponsor many
organizations that improve
health and quality of life in their
communities.
Building stronger communities
pays dividends in many ways, from
improved economic growth to the
growth of human and intellectual
capital.
Our role in building community is
a partnership with our clients and
our employees. We all benefit from
the outcome.

We are blind until we see
That in the human plan
Nothing is worth the making
If it does not make the man.
Why build these cities glorious
If man unbuilded goes?
In vain we build the world
Unless the builder also grows.
