From the President

  I'm personally amazed by how much we have accomplished as human beings on this planet.  From the 1940's invention of a transistor, we have created microprocessors and other amazing technology that we would have a hard time living without.  It is the same technology that makes being a civil engineer an amazing field right now. 
 

Fearing that "the employee" will someday sabotage the company, most firms withhold business knowledge and information as well as some of the little "tricks" of running and maintaining a successful business.  At CIVCON, you are taught business techniques, and urged to fly from the nest someday.  I'm not worried about someone I've trained taking a "future" customer from me.  We are a world on the move, constantly building, and changing the landscape of this amazing planet so there will always be plenty of civil engineering work.  And if they can steal a future customer from me then I've done my job properly in training them in both business and engineering.. very intimate, very invested, and very responsive.  It's very utilitarian at its roots, but that's me at my roots.  Not fluffed up marketing and unnecessary/high over-head.  We hope you give CIVCON a chance to bid your next project.  We will impress you with our client list, services, passion and knowledge.  I promise!Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.

 Sincerely,

Frank R. Villanti, P.E.
President
