We’re entering the expo/show season and Southern California hit the ground running! With two BOMA events and CACM’s So Cal Law Seminar & Expo, things were busy. Sharlin Kissinger, AM at San Diego North, and Hayley Katzenberger, AM at San Diego, attended a BOMA and IFMA expo at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Joel Butler becomes our photo contest’s first repeat winner. Both he and Mary Kirby sent in gorgeous shots but his photos of flowers at Valley Ranch were impossible to beat!

Four branches had community engagement efforts this week. It’s wonderful to see the LandCare culture out in the field. Three branches had barbecues and one created a new board as an outlet for team member appreciation.

Mark Hopkins, Regional VP, and the OKC branch wanted to publicly thank team members from Dallas West for helping out OKC. Quinton Peak, Ryan Hollingsworth and Kenny Culberson traveled north to OKC to help with an LQA blitz.

Ashley Plaetzer, Director — Talent, recently joined the team in Southern California. She went out into the field to get some hands-on experience and find out what our team members do on a daily basis.

Brian Simmons, Branch Manager at the Richmond branch, had outpatient surgery recently. His kids were playing on tablets and the staff mentioned that it would be great to have tablets for the children that come into their office.

At LandCare, we really appreciate when team members refer people to join our organization! On Glassdoor, 87% of our employees said they would recommend LandCare to a friend.

So many branches have been marking safety achievements. This week the Raleigh branch got to celebrate 500 days without an accident!
