A note from Joe

Reaching 75 years in business is a testament to the exceptional contributions of our team members, the trust of our clients, and the strength of our partnerships. This milestone would not be possible without each of you.

Please reserve these dates on your calendar immediately and arrange your schedule accordingly. Remote employees can expect communications on how to book travel in the coming months.

We look forward to gathering together to honor our legacy and celebrate our bright future ahead.

With appreciation and excitement,

Joe Shaker Jr.
