Spotlight on the Staff
In the café, the parking lot, and other moments when there’s a chance for a one-on-one chat, we’ve been asking employees what it is about Dewberry that they like the most. The answer we’ve heard consistently has been “working with other Dewberry employees.” They would go on to say that the people are so pleasant and helpful. The firm is large enough, but not too large; they know many of their fellow employees personally and have established strong working relationships. And there is so much talent in this firm that there is always someone who can help with a difficult problem. This answer isn’t surprising since this is the same feedback we receive from clients—it’s the people at Dewberry who make the difference. Over the past 55 years this company has benefited from the knowledge, performance, and vision of its employees in support of our clients’ daily challenges. In the pages of this Dimensions, we’ve reflected on those opportunities to help clients shape their visions for the future. When this company was founded, there were many visions for the future— futurists described air conditioned cities encompassed within huge domes. Colonies would be established on Mars and the moon, and robots would do all the work. While these notions seem a little ridiculous today, what is true is that 55 years from now, we will look back with wonder at our progress. Without question technological innovation will continue to change and improve the way our industry does business. This issue highlights a few of these innovations such as using advanced technology design processes to bring an immediate and enhanced understanding of a property’s constraints and attributes to owners and developers. On a scale greater than ever before, we are changing the way we are gathering, structuring, and using data in order to make it more accessible and meaningful to clients and their constituents. Finally, we’d like to thank our clients and colleagues for the loyalty and support they have shown this company over the years. We are privileged to have helped shape the development, growth, enrichment, preparedness, and connectivity of so many communities across this nation. We are very proud of our people and this industry that has helped to make our 55 years possible. Sidney O. Dewberry, Chairman Barry K. Dewberry, Vice Chairman
