Webber’s Annual Meeting Highlights

Local news

Webber’s 2016 Annual Meeting was held April 13-15 at The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center; this year’s theme was EXCELLENCE – Empower, Engage, Execute

The event took place only a week after the acquisition of Pepper Lawson and employees from all divisions of Webber gathered together for the first time, learning about the exciting direction of the Company.

Crewmembers had the opportunity to hear from our senior leadership and executive team on topics ranging from the overall status of the business, to more specific conversations around projects and best practices. The key takeaway from this year’s event was an emphasis on ‘striving for excellence’ and we believe excellence is about performance.

Over the last few years, Webber has made substantial investments in our crewmembers and diversified the markets in which we serve, and as a result, we’ve made great strides toward our goal of becoming the contractor and employer of choice within the region.  We want to empower and engage our people and foster a culture of pushing hard to make great things happen.

Excellence to me, personally, is that we’re constantly trying to achieve the unattainable, which is perfection. – José Carlos Esteban

Keynote Speaker, Mike Staver, was well-received. He is a high-energy speaker and author of  “Leadership Isn’t for Cowards.”  He was both entertaining and insightful and shared important aspects of leadership, certainty, and direction.
