COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SERVICE Conway Corp exists to serve the residents of Conway with friendly, award-winning service. Customers can also call 24 hours a day, seven days a week and be connected to a customer service specialist who is a local member of the community. We are responsive to customers’ needs and concerns and make customer service a priority.

In 2018, nineteen Conway Corp customer service and cable department professionals were recognized by the Mid-America Cable Association for their outstanding service provided to our customers. In addition, Log Cabin Democrat readers voted Conway Corp as Best Cable Provider in their annual readers’ choice awards.

CRYSTAL KEMP PROMOTED TO CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER

NEW ELECTRONIC BILLING, PAYMENT & PRESENTMENT SERVICES

Conway Corp promoted Crystal Kemp to the newly created position of chief marketing officer in April. As CMO, Kemp oversees all areas of the company that directly engage customers and leads efforts to bring new products to market.

At Conway Corp, we understand our customers prefer to make payments when and how they want with a consistent, user-friendly experience across all channels.

In 2018, Conway Corp rolled out a new paperless billing system providing customers the ability to pay their Conway Corp payment through a variety of new channels.

“As I began to think about our communications, customer service, business solutions and bringing new products to our customers, I realized it was time to add this position to our executive leadership team and there is no one better prepared to handle this than Crystal,” CEO Bret Carroll said. Kemp began her career with Conway Corp in November 2000 as marketing/communications coordinator and was promoted to marketing and public relations manager in 2010.

Customers who use self-service features like one-time online credit card payments noticed a more user-friendly platform and improved fee structure. We also added free payment options through the myConwayCorp app.

TOWER OF EXCELLENCE AWARD: JIM LAWRENCE

BETH JIMMERSON & BRETT MCDANIEL GRADUATE CALI

This year, Conway Corp created a new award to recognize outstanding employees – the Tower of Excellence Award and named Damage Prevention and Recovery Supervisor Jim Lawrence as the first recipient. The new award recognizes an employee who has made a significant impact on Conway Corp through outstanding dedication and exceptional job performance.

Senior Marketing Coordinator Beth McCullough Jimmerson and Engineering and Planning Manager Brett McDaniel were among 59 community individuals to graduate from the Conway Area Leadership Institute in November 2018.

In Lawrence’s nomination, a co-worker said, “Jim is dedicated to making sure that the company objectives are met while maintaining a balance of helping the customer thoroughly. He always has a positive point of view and is able to handle difficult situations with ease.”

The eight-month CALI curriculum is based on Conway2025, the city’s long-range strategic plan that was developed with the input of more than 1,400 area residents. The Conway2025 plan includes 132 goals spread across seven sectors: Keep Conway Active, Keep Conway Building, Keep Conway Creative, Keep Conway Learning, Keep Conway Moving, Keep Conway Safe and Keep Conway Working. A focus on the city’s vision and future direction is a hallmark of the leadership program.

CUSTOMER SERVICE AWARDS: TRACY FERRELL & BRITTNEY MCCAIG Conway Corp is committed to exceeding customers’ expectations through the exceptional work of its employees and recognizes employees annually for their individual dedication to the mission of the company. Senior Customer Service Specialist Tracy Ferrell and Senior Customer Accounts Specialist Brittney McCaig each received the Customer Service Award. They were nominated by fellow co-workers for going above and beyond their job duties.

Ferrell’s nomination said, “Tracy proactively seeks out extra work and volunteers to help out with any special projects that need to be completed, as well as changes up her work schedule if needed to accommodate customer demand.”

McCaig’s nomination said, “Brittney is called upon multiple times during the day to provide assistance. She not only gets the job done, but she does so quickly and efficiently.”

METER UPGRADE PROJECT UNDERWAY

ARNOLD INNOVATION CENTER

As a part of planned technology improvements, Conway Corp is making upgrades to our electric and water metering systems. In 2018, we completed the replacement legacy mechanical and electronic electric meters at homes and businesses with advanced digital electric meters and began work to replace water meters.

Conway Corp entered a memorandum of understanding with the City of Conway to assume maintenance and management of Conway City Hall at 1201 West Oak Street downtown. The building will become the Arnold Innovation Center, which will include coworking space, office suites and seminar facilities.

New technology and communication capabilities are essential to maintaining the service our customers expect. Advanced meters and other technology upgrades provide a costeffective way to ensure efficient and reliable electric service. These meters transmit and receive data automatically and securely with our office. Two-way communication eliminates the need for manual meter reads and enables new programs for outage notification, off-peak pricing and alerts to help with troubleshooting and preventative maintenance.

Information coming from the meters allows us to improve our efficiency during peak energy usage periods, which helps keep the cost of electricity lower. In addition, new tools will help keep electric bills more accurate and affordable while allowing us to diagnose problems that impact service quicker.

In 2017, the Conway Corp Board of Directors announced plans for the Arnold Innovation Center at the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce’s annual meeting. The center is named in honor of retired Conway Corp CEO Richard Arnold and will be a destination for entrepreneurs to connect with one another while having access to necessary resources to create, launch and grow businesses.

“The innovation center will become the epicenter of Conway’s startup community,” CEO Bret Carroll said.

“This is an ideal location from a technology standpoint and a historic one. It’s in the heart of the Data District and just a few steps from where, almost 150 years ago, Conway’s original startups were launched.”

The building is less than a block from the site of Conway Station, from which the city emerged in the late 1800s. The current structure was built for First State Bank and opened in August 1960 before becoming Conway City Hall in 1986.

City Hall has remained in its current location for 32 years despite its expected life of 20 years. The Arnold Innovation Center will open in 2020.

CONWAY CORP SENDS CREW TO HELP AFTER HURRICANE MICHAEL

Preparedness coordinators for the Florida Municipal Electric Association issued a call to the Missouri Public Utility Alliance (MPUA) for mutual aid assistance on October 7.

Conway Corp electric department employees joined forces with crews from nine Missouri cities to travel to Florida in October 2018 to perform recovery work in the wake of Hurricane Michael.

The responding crews came from public power electric utilities, not-for-profit community-owned electric utilities that serve their individual communities, but also had agreements in place allowing staff to assist neighboring communities and states during widespread outages in other communities.

Organized by the Missouri Public Utility Alliance, the crews from Conway Corp traveled to Tallahassee to respond to power outages after the storm passed.

The mutual aid response was coordinated through MPUA’s mutual aid network. Assisting cities are reimbursed by the municipal utilities receiving assistance. Nationally, mutual aid agreements organized through the American Public Power Association link more than 2,000 public power and rural electric cooperatives, so they can help each other in times of need.

The workers staged in Tallahassee, equipped with eight bucket trucks, seven digger trucks and 11 other linework vehicles, and worked to restore power to Florida municipal utilities in affected areas. Municipal utility workers from other states joined our crews in Florida to assist in hurricane recovery efforts.

ENERGY SMART BUILDERS OF THE YEAR: WATSON HOMES & WATSON CONSTRUCTION

“Kevin and Tom have been committed to building homes that meet or exceed Conway Corp Energy Smart criteria since the Energy Smart New Home program was developed in 2009,” Conway Corp Major Accounts and Energy Efficiency Manager David Avra said.

Conway Corp named Kevin Watson of Watson Homes and Tom Watson of Tom Watson Construction the 2018 Energy Smart Builders of the Year for their dedication to building energy-efficient homes in the Conway community. Energy Smart homes use less energy than standard-built homes and help save homeowners money and energy for years to come.

KEVIN AND TOM HAVE BEEN COMMITTED TO BUILDING HOMES THAT MEET OR EXCEED CONWAY CORP ENERGY SMART CRITERIA SINCE THE ENERGY SMART NEW HOME PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED IN 2009.

- David Avra, Energy Efficiency Manager

Conway Corp recognized 25 homes built by Watson Homes and Tom Watson Construction as being Energy Smart in 2018. The builders have nine Energy Smart homes under construction including seven in the Robynmar Subdivision, a 45 lot development being built exclusively by Watson Homes and Tom Watson Construction.

Energy Smart specifications are based on the United States Department of Energy recommendations.

Energy Smart homes can save 20 to 30 percent energy use over a standard built home thanks to a variety of energy-efficient features including insulation, highperformance windows, tight ducts and efficient heating and cooling equipment. “More than 900 Energy Smart homes have been built since the program began in 2009 with an estimated accumulative energy savings to the homeowners of $1,102,100,” Avra said.

The following year the company would broadcast road games live, and it was met with great response. Now, both home and road football games are being broadcast live to not only Conway Corp cable customers, but also to any internet-connected device in the world through YouTube on the company’s website at conwaycorp.com/wc2go.
