MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
I am grateful to have been your CEO, and I look forward to watching the continued growth of you all in the coming years.
It’s that time of year again. The time of year when we look back on the year that was and marvel at what we accomplished and make note of those things we have not yet achieved. It’s a time of reflection. When I took the helm of Rosendin at the end of 2019, I knew that my tenure would be brief when compared to previous CEOs. I knew when I wanted to retire and that I had just a few years left to support Rosendin and the growth of our people and communities.
The vision I had when I took on this role was very different from what actually happened. I think that for myself and many others, the pandemic had a big hand in shaping the past four years. Business leaders across the country were faced with conditions that had never before been experienced. However, when I look back on these past few years, I am filled with gratitude for what Rosendin accomplished. For two solid years, the people of Rosendin got up every day and went to work under the most stressful conditions. But it was because we had such a deeply entrenched culture of caring.
We took care of each other. Every day, team members brought new ideas forward for how we could keep our people safe and keep everyone employed. And Rosendin absolutely flourished in that very difficult time.
It was a tremendous growth period for us as a company. We didn’t get through it without loss, though. Covid took a toll on our employees, and we lost some fine people. But it also showed the resiliency of our people.
I’m proud to have been a part of that growth and the impact that Rosendin has had on the industry and the communities in which we live and work. Rosendin continues to bring safety, innovation, and leadership to our industry. I’m grateful to have been your CEO and I look forward to watching the continued growth of you all in the coming years. Keep taking care of yourselves and each other. Thank you!
- Mike
THE PATH TO
At over 100 years old, there's no discounting that Rosendin is a great builder. As we developed our Strategic Plan for the next decade, we asked ourselves, "How did we get here in the first place?" The financials will tell you that it's not only because we can build anything but because we build a few things really well.
By 2031, Rosendin set a goal to revolutionize the construction industry while building an unparalleled legacy of opportunity for all. This goal is built upon four interrelated and co-dependent strategic pillars that align with our Mission, Vision, and Core Values: Markets (Building Value), Financial (Building Value), People and Community (Building People), and Tools, Systems, and Processes (Building Quality). To reach our 10-year goals, we had to set intermediate milestones referred to as basecamps, intervals along the way that are within reach. Rosendin's initiatives, committees, improvement activities, etc., must align with the basecamps so the organization can move together seamlessly.
As we enter 2024, we are one year away from our first base camp that targets clear alignment of business-intelligent decisions across the company. Within our Financial pillar, Rosendin set a goal to "achieve extraordinary financial success, with industry-leading financial resources and data analytics to continuously innovate in ways that are virtually impossible to duplicate." By 2025, we will have established decision-making teams that enable the confident strategic deployment of capital and provide an innovation platform for the industry.
Through our plan, the current market focus on data centers, modular, renewables, and high tech, which comprise 70% of our business, will evolve. Markets grow and shrink, and our portfolio, as it is today, will evolve into something different as we move three, five, and ten years into the future. Our business's diversity and ability to take advantage of market changes directly contribute to our growth. But it is not just our markets that have brought us success.
Rosendin became successful by making prudent business decisions regarding people, markets, and organizational structure, as evidenced by the best-in-class balance sheet we've built over the last 25 years since becoming a completely employee-owned company. This financial strength has allowed us to be opportunistic in our decisions. What we do is not dictated by our financial partners. We value the advice and wisdom of these partners and consider it when making decisions.
As we look to our first basecamp in 2025, we are developing a base for the remainder of the strategic plan that allows the company to grow smoothly and successfully. In turn, we have the ability and focus to create opportunities for our current and future employees.

World Quality Week 2023
Quality Week Recap Video 2023
World Quality Week is an annual campaign celebrated by the The Chartered Quality Institute (CQI) to raise awareness of quality. Each year CQI announces a new theme that covers a range of issues and topics relevant to the quality profession. The theme for World Quality Week 2023 was "Realizing Your Competitive Potential."
Throughout the week, Rosendin Toolbox Talks focused on how everyone at Rosendin works to build a culture of quality, the importance of the quality mindset, how we apply that to our work, and, ultimately, how our commitment to quality gives Rosendin a competitive edge.
The Quality Department also prepared a video (above) that showcases Rosendin's commitment to quality throughout the life-cycle of a project. As you watch this video, you will see some of the high-quality work our teams produce from BIM through prefab, to installation on the job site.

SHATTERING STEREOTYPES AND INSPIRING STUDENTS
How Rosendin is Positioning Construction as a Viable Career Option
In the Q3 issue of The Feeder, we highlighted the mission of our Workforce Development Team as they work to grow the future construction workforce. Two major annual events that Rosendin participates in occurred in November 2023. These events are focused on shattering stereotypes and inspiring students from all backgrounds to consider a career in construction as a viable option for their future.
In Phoenix, Arizona, Rosendin joined forces with 70 other construction-related companies for the 2023 AZ Construction Career Days (AZCCD), presented by the Association for Construction Career Development. For over 20 years, AZCCD has promoted career opportunities in the construction industry, connecting 40,000 Arizona students to companies and training opportunities. Rosendin participates in and sponsors the event each year. This year’s event brought 4,518 students from 122 schools in 9 Arizona counties to introduce them to potential career paths in construction by showcasing new technologies and tools.
Guest speakers included Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs and Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen, who emphasized the growing demand for skilled trade workers. Gov. Hobbs shared that Phoenix is second in the nation for active construction projects, with 37,000 new jobs expected in Arizona by 2031.
Events like AZCCD attract young people into the construction industry, strengthening the workforce pipeline for construction companies that support regional growth.
“The construction industry continues to face a shortage of skilled workers. A goal of the annual AZCCD event is to highlight local training opportunities that are emerging,” said Rose Ann Canizales, President of AZCCD. “We want students to get excited about all the opportunities that are out there, and by bringing together construction companies from around AZ and nationwide, we can do that.”
Rosendin’s booth allowed students to explore technologies that are advancing the construction industry. Students learned how computer modeling is applied to construction projects and were guided on using Microsoft HoloLens and Oculus 2 VR goggles to build a model car through an augmented reality training program.
“We want students to recognize that technology is advancing at a rapid rate and construction careers roles are changing with it.”
- Mike Greenawalt, CEO of Rosendin
“Electrical work supports modern-day automation, control systems, renewable energy sources, power distribution, and so much more. We encourage students interested in learning about technology advancements to consider a career within the construction industry where innovations such as augmented reality and 360 cameras are already in use.”
On November 6, Rosendin’s Virginia office hosted 11th and 12th-grade students at its regional office in Sterling, Virginia, as part of Loudon County School-Business Partnership (LCSBP) Partner’s Job for a Day shadowing program. The event gave students unprecedented access to electrical professionals in engineering, estimating, field electrical work, and Building Information Modeling (BIM), among others.
Construction companies experiencing a shortage of skilled workers have a new pipeline to educate young people about career opportunities, thanks to a partnership between electrical contractor Rosendin and the Loudoun County School-Business Partnership (LCSBP).
The organizations partnered to shift perceptions in Virginia about careers in construction, starting with an experiential learning event for Loudoun County high school students.
“Nearly every craft trade company is hiring for good-paying careers, so it makes sense to expose students to opportunities that explore the joy of building, whether they choose to attend
college or join the workforce after high school graduation,” said Tiffany Abbott, Rosendin Regional Pursuits Manager, and LCSBP Executive Council member.
"As a longtime supporter of Loudoun County Public Schools, Rosendin is proud to be a member of the LCSBP because it utilizes the expertise and support of our local business community to give students unique learning opportunities.” Rosendin has sponsored Loudoun County Public School events since 2016, hosting meetings and tours and participating in career exploration programs for students.
It wasn’t until August 2023 that Abbott became the first craft trade professional to join the LCSBP Executive Council, and the group began working with construction companies to expand experiential learning opportunities. “LCSBP is appreciative of Tiffany and Rosendin for expanding their commitment to developing Loudoun County’s next generation of leaders,” said incoming LCSBP Chair and Founder of Loud & Clear Marketing, Sharon Write.
“It is thanks to partners like Rosendin that we can add educational and authentic learning value to our mission and grow connections with students to local businesses and industry.” As part of its commitment, Rosendin will also support LCSBP’s Workforce Development Committee to provide students with more opportunities and support individual experiential learning.
“We come from many industries to rally behind a common goal to empower Loudoun County students to be communicators, collaborators, creators, contributors, and critical thinkers so they may make meaningful contributions to our community,” said Stacey Metcalf, a four-term council member and CEO of Westmoreland Davis Foundation/Morven Park. “We are proud to welcome the visionaries and the builders and look forward to engaging with construction partners who offer job opportunities and community growth.”
CRISIS MANAGEMENT TRAINING
Rosendin’s Safety team takes great pride in developing training and programs that increase the safety of Rosendin job sites and offices.
With that in mind, in the first quarter of 2024, Rosendin’s Safety team will begin requiring Crisis Management Training for all employees.
“We believe in taking a proactive approach to potential crises,” said Shayne Stevens, Sr. Director of Safety. “Working together with the Executive Leadership Team, Marketing, and Legal, Rosendin has developed a Crisis Management Plan to give those in a critical situation a starting point on which to base their actions. How prepared we are will determine the outcome for Rosendin.“
Spot for a "Proper Procedure" video, safety video, or even the recently uploaded training video "Equipment Moving Methods" which could highlight proper safety techniques for lifting. Thoughts?
A crisis can be defined as a singular or combination of internal or external, controllable or uncontrollable, and observable or unobservable events that affect the organization’s reputation and/or integrity, directly or indirectly. While each crisis is different, Rosendin has a plan that provides a general set of guidelines and procedures to follow, and the plan is continuously updated. In 2024, video trainings will be available to help all employees understand their role in crisis management. These videos will cover a range of topics including:
• Identifying a Crisis
• Emergency Response
• Crisis Management Team Roles and Responsibilities (Local and Corporate)
• Evacuation Procedures
• Internal/External Contacts
• Media Management
• Natural/Non-Natural Emergencies, Fatalities, Bomb Threats, Active Shooters
• Mental Health Crisis
• Online and Social Media Crisis
• Creating a Crisis Management Plan Binder
The Crisis Management Training video series is meant to give you a baseline in addressing a crisis. Throughout the year, your local safety team member will be providing additional crisis management and evacuation training. Rosendin has also introduced new security measures at all office locations that will be shared by your local safety team member.

Collectively, each independent training program is a step forward in the pipeline. This pipeline allows employees to actively pursue career advancement while providing visibility to potential senior and executive leaders.
The P.O.W.E.R. Program continues the climb toward senior leadership, targeting divisional leaders and teaching them to lead like CEOs of their business units. It promotes critical thinking, strategic planning, and healthy leadership based on lessons learned while also helping to transfer the knowledge base of retiring executives for effective succession planning.
At the pinnacle, Leadership Academy shapes organizational leaders for corporate and officer roles. Participants tackle Rosendin's challenges using A3 thinking in groups, presenting proposals to the CEO and executive team. The program delves into complex problem-solving and incorporates executive coaching, contributing to a robust succession plan.

Since 2018, Rosendin has been expanding its partnership and implementing leadership training with Echelon Front (EF), a consulting company founded by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, retired US Navy SEAL officers and authors of "Extreme Ownership – How US Navy SEALs Lead and Win."
Rosendin's Learning & Development department engages with EF several times a year as part of Rosendin's SURGE and Emerging Leaders programs. Jamie Cochran, COO of Echelon Front, and former Navy SEAL officer Sean Glass facilitated three virtual classroom sessions in 2023, teaching leadership lessons to eager learners at Rosendin. When asked about the importance of training people to be better leaders, Jamie says, "The better you are at leading people, the less you have to manage them."
Selected Rosendin field leaders and SURGE and Emerging Leaders program members recently attended The Muster, a two-day EF leadership seminar. Elisabeth Jones, Erika Fry, Mike Murphy, Justin Prince, and John Loukusa participated in the conference hosted by Jocko and Leif. Over two full days, the team performed role-playing
exercises and hands-on activities to discuss real-world problems, gain perspectives on current issues, and encourage each other to lead and win. Each day started with a PT (Physical Training) session at 4:45 am led by Jocko, Leif, and former Navy SEAL J.P. Dinnell.
Topics covered included:
• Increased ownership of problems and solutions
• Building strong relationships
• Working cross-functionally to accomplish the mission
• Prioritizing daily tasks and long-term strategic initiatives
• Empowering others to solve problems and LEAD
• Adapting to changing environments
• Making decisions amidst chaos
• Taking ownership to solve problems in business and life
In 2024, the Learning & Development Team will continue the partnership with EF to train employees to take ownership. If interested, there are several ways to jump on board or continue your leadership journey. Check out the Rosendin Readers program on the following page and sign up for your copy of "Extreme Ownership." Read the book, take notes, complete the assessment, and apply what you have learned.
Echelon Front also has an online resource called the Extreme Ownership Academy, which hosts free training classes to learn how to take extreme ownership.

CLIENT: Providence Cedars-Sinai Health and Services
GENERAL CONTRACTOR: McCarthy Builders
BUDGET: $54M
SIZE: 600,000 SF
Over the six years of construction, Rosendin performed approximately 80 power shutdowns with zero incidents or negative impacts on the fully operational facility. Rosendin's team worked alongside a cooperative hospital staff to coordinate and plan power shutdowns throughout the campus, provide emergency power backup to keep the hospital up and running, and, at ALL times, keep the emergency room operable.
The Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center campus started operations in 1973, serving the San Fernando Valley with heart, vascular, orthopedic, cancer, and women's services specialties. This hospital has the largest Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in the area, and the emergency department has been designated by the Los Angeles County Department of Health as a STEMI and stroke receiving center.
The Rosendin team performed retrofitting of three of the existing buildings, complete demolition and remodel of the main lobby/head-end of the campus, a full and completely new Central Utility Plant to replace the 30+-year-old CUP, and most importantly, the build of the campus' new six-story patient tower which includes over 400 new patient beds, new specialty operating rooms, MRI room, and Emergency Department.
During the tough and overwhelming times of COVID-19, the hospital staff kept confidence in Rosendin's team. Rosendin provided new temporary infrastructure for the COVID triage center, located on the lower level of the hospital's parking structure for the overflow of patients.

AMike Greenawalt Named ENR Southwest's 2024 Legacy Award Honoree
fter reviewing this year's Legacy Award nominations for the Southwest region, ENR editors have named Mike Greenawalt, Rosendin CEO, as ENR Southwest's 2024 Legacy Award honoree.
During his 45-year career in construction, which he started out as a journeyman wireman, Greenawalt spent 21 years with Rosendin, including serving as company CEO from 2019 until 2023.
In a letter of recommendation submitted to ENR, Rosendin Chairman Tom Sorley wrote, "Beginning his career in the field as a journeyman wireman, Mike has literally 'done it all' and has brought those life/work experiences to bear in the programs the company has developed for safety, training/development as well as innovation and technological advancement."
"Mike looked for Rosendin to 'set the standards' for the construction industry and share those standards with others."
-Chairman Tom Sorley
A couple of Greenawalt's numerous career accomplishments show his interest in attracting more people to the construction industry, and to ensuring that those men and women worked safely.
For instance, to address the issue of workforce shortages, Greenawalt partnered with Grand Canyon University in Phoenix to develop a pre-apprenticeship program for university students.
According to his Legacy Award nomination, this program is now being modeled by Arizona’s Department of Education to create learning opportunities under the new Arizona Education and Economic Commission, of which Mike is a founding member.
Additionally, in 2017, after noticing an increase in injuries and safety risks caused by lighter, portable band saws, Greenawalt assembled a team and came up with an idea for a two-handed band saw with safety features that could not be overridden. He partnered with DeWALT to manufacture the saw for Rosendin and made it publicly available to improve all workplaces.
As ENR reported, that innovation served as the centerpiece of Rosendin's recognition with the AGC of America and Willis Towers Watson – Construction Safety Excellence Award in 2019.
ENR Southwest readers can learn more about 2024 Southwest Legacy Award honoree Mike Greenawalt and some of his other accomplishments in the upcoming January 16 print issue.

Impact. Empower. Inspire.
Letter from the President
As 2023 comes to a close, The Rosendin Foundation would like to take a moment to reflect on the year and the fantastic work performed by our volunteers to positively impact the community, build and empower people, and inspire innovation.
First and foremost – we launched TRF Camp Build in five cities! What a feat and an incredible job done by staff and volunteers. The weeklong camps were genuinely transformative. Those who participated witnessed the transformation of these girls and boys into safe builders with confidence in their knowledge, skills, and ability to handle tools. All campers left confident and empowered! We are looking for more companies to get involved. If you
know of a company interested in sponsoring TRF Camp Build, please direct them to our sponsorship page.
In 2023, TRF distributed $637,500 to 81 nonprofit organizations (37 existing partners and 44 new nonprofits) nationwide. The Grant Making Committee listened to our local employees to determine how best to distribute the allocated grant dollars and create customized grants for each geographic area based on the local employees' feedback and review of applications. Some areas wanted to give the allotted amount to one or two organizations, while others wanted to continue to disburse multiple smaller grants to impact more organizations. As we continue to listen and gain more funding, TRF will be
able to meet the needs tailored to each local community. In the past three years, since we started in 2020, TRF has distributed $1,877,850 to 218 unique nonprofit organizations in the communities where we work and live.
TRF continues to grow each year in the support we provide to our communities. But this growth is not just monetary; we have also donated our time and talents. In 2023, our Communications Committee planned and organized a total of 31 Service Days across most geographic areas where Rosendin and MPS employees live and work. A total of 493 volunteers participated, with 166 being first-time volunteers, equating to 2,683 hours spent positively impacting our communities.
TRF also now has 135 sustaining monthly donors through automatic paycheck contributions. Unfortunately, we fell short of 160 sustaining donors. Still, as more Rosendin and MPS employees become aware of the dynamic app on our intranet page, we are hopeful that in 2024 we will see an increase in sustaining donors through paycheck contributions.
We look forward to continuing to care, share, listen, excel, innovate, and be thankful in the new year. If you want to get involved with TRF , please contact info@therosendinfoundation.org.

Women Giving Back
Mission: To support women and children in crisis on a first step to stability by providing quality clothing at no cost, assisted by a caring and committed community.
Program: Supporting Healthy Needs of Northern Virginia Women and Children in Crisis
$25,000
TRF’s grant will help in the organization’s expansion into a new space to increase clothing, food, and diaper storage, provide more compassion, fatigue and other emotional health resources, grow its food pantry program, and open a Nonprofit Hub so others can meet and support the community.
Cornerstones, Inc.
$20,000
Mission: Cornerstones promotes stability, empowerment, and hope through support, advocacy, and community-building for individuals and families in need.
Program: “FREE from Hunger” Food Hub - Strengthening Food Security and Expanding Food Access in Fairfax and Loudoun Counties
TRF’s grant will support the Food Hub by funding essential operational equipment purchases, such as racks, inventory management software, a backup generator, a refrigerated van, a used forklift, an industrial scale and ramp, and mobile shelving/carting for sorting and floor movement of goods. This essential work will equip participating Fairfax and Loudoun County food pantries, school nutrition centers, and other feeding programs.
Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada
Mission: Repairing Homes, Revitalizing Communities, Rebuilding Lives.
Program: Critical Home Repair (CHR)
$20,000
TRF’s grant will provide eligible homeowners with critically needed repairs and system replacements. RTSNV seeks to prevent low-income homeowners from losing their owned homes (including mobile and manufactured), becoming homeless, or being placed in assisted living facilities or nursing homes rather than having the ability to age in place in their own homes.
Aspiring Texas Latinos Achieving Success Together $17,500
Mission: To inspire and empower Latino High School students to become leaders in their community.
Program: La Tiendita - Breaking a generational cycle of food insecurity while improving employment opportunities for local at-risk Latino students.
Our grant will support La Tiendita, a small community grocery store, by supplying the community with healthy food options in the food desert of the east side of McKinney, Texas, and employ and train local high schoolers through this social enterprise, including hands-on leadership and entrepreneurial training, and business skill development.
Thank You to our 2023 Board & Committee members!
