A n O g n i d i R s The Future I OCTOBER - DECEMBER 2024
The holiday season is a time to reflect on the year, express gratitude, and connect with those who make a difference in our lives. For me, this tradition comes alive through writing Christmas cards to our employees—a heartfelt undertaking that I look forward to every year. Over Thanksgiving break, I spent hours crafting 574 personalized cards, each one inspired by the history, contributions, and memories of the incredible individuals who make up our team. While it’s no small feat—leaving my hand sore and my desk covered in a flurry of envelopes—it’s a deeply rewarding experience. This tradition not only allows me to acknowledge the unique value each employee brings but also reinvigorates me. Taking time to pause and reflect on the dedication, teamwork, and milestones achieved reminds me of the extraordinary people who form the heart of Ajax. In a world driven by technology and efficiency, this effort to connect on a personal level feels more important than ever. These cards are a small but meaningful way to say, “I see you, I appreciate you, and you matter.” To everyone who receives one, know that these words come from a place of genuine gratitude for all you do. Together, we’ve built more than roads—we’ve built a community, and that’s something to celebrate this holiday season. I have an ask. In 2025, let us begin each day by committing to no accidents or injuries. As good as we were in 2024, we can be better. ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY BREAK AND REMEMBER THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!
