One of our favorite times of the year happened at the beginning of December 2025. A time where all areas and divisions of the company meet under one roof and recap everything that has happened during the year. 2025, like any year, was a big year for us at ROERS. Each division head shared updates on upcoming projects, current projects, completed projects and current pursuits!
Before we dove into our 2025 recap, we had the pleasure of listening to David Wood and Shawn Kessel discuss the 7 Habits of Effective People. They discussed the 7 habits in detail and had a great on stage demonstration.

This year’s theme was “The Great Outdoors”. The stage transformed into a camping scene, while the tables were decorated perfectly around the room thanks to The White House Co. We had the pleasure of having a magician walk around during social hour and perform on stage for our employees. To mix things up, we had a variety of games with fantastic participation from all employees.
