AE 2023 First Quarter Outlook Our Focus and Commitment to Exceed Expectations

As we kickoff the 2023 calendar year, we feel that it is important to look back on the past year and give thanks for both the challenges and successes we have had! I am personally proud to have met our previous goal of developing our team’s reach geographically, such as Georgia and North Carolina, while maintaining value for our current and new clients. I am also proud of the strong sense of team our firm fosters, such as our ability to raise $2,000 for staff affected by Hurricane Ian in 2022. I hope that each member of our team is aware of their vital role in these accomplishments and are proud of what we have achieved to date. As I stated last year, we are fortunate to be in the transportation infrastructure industry as it moves center stage due to our country’s infrastructure reinvestment plan for much needed upgrades to our aging transportation system. AE is poised to capitalize on these opportunities through our commitment to hiring the best and treating them as such!

With these thoughts in mind as we embark upon this new year, we have two main goals for 2023:

1. Continue our commitment to staff education and training. We understand that what makes AE a great firm is our staff and their dedication to their projects, thus we are committed to providing opportunities for staff development and encouraging professional growth for all personnel. To that end, I challenge each of you to work closely with your managers to develop a training plan that allows you to become the best version of yourself. We will continue to sharpen our skillset with the training, qualifications, and experiences to ensure our firm is at the forefront in all our service lines.

2. Controlled, smart growth across geography and service lines. We look forward to continuing to grow our presence in the Southeastern transportation market, becoming the premier provider for state and local agencies throughout the region. We have made strategic resource investments into the Georgia and North Carolina markets and are excited to see these areas continue to expand. As we expand geographically, we will still maintain our heavy involvement and focus in Florida and growing our staff there as well. We are excited to see the continued diversification of our Florida CEI market and the expansion of our planning capabilities to address the real needs of our clients on a local level.

Cory and I set goals each year for the company and fortunately—due to God’s grace and a steadfast commitment to quality—we have been able to exceed our goals and set new ones to continue to grow our brand. We look forward to what 2023 brings and working together to achieve these new goals as well!
