Through the Gary Sinise Foundation’s Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment (R.I.S.E.) Program, retired U.S. Army Sergeant Joshua Hargis and his family have officially received their brand-new, custom-built smart home. Supported with product donation from Huber Engineered Woods, multiple Huber employees were able to attend the home dedication for the Hargis family in Nolensville, Tennessee – including Lea (Chambers) Volpe, Christopher Vegas, Reuben Rudisill, Preston Van Winkle, Felicia Gibson and Chris Weaver. In addition to celebrating this beautiful new home with founder @ Gary Sinise himself, the group also received a tour of the Foundation’s headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee, affording them an even deeper perspective on the impact made by this incredible organization. It’s truly such an honor to be able to share these meaningful moments with those who have sacrificed so much for their country.

At Huber, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are instrumental in fostering an inclusive workplace, where every employee feels like they belong and are valued. These voluntary, employee-led groups are formed around members who share common interests in supporting diversity and inclusion within the organization. Today, we are proud to offer 12 ERGs across our Company – an impressive feat that would be impossible to achieve without the passion and dedication of these ERG leaders and members. As we near the end of another year, we want to communicate how grateful we are for the commitments and contributions of these individuals. Thank you for giving your time, energy and talents to continuing to strengthen the I Belong at Huber initiative.  #IBelongAtHuber #DEI #EmployeeResourceGroups #HuberCulture 

Today, we honor the bravery and sacrifices made by those who have served or are currently serving in the armed forces. In recognition of Veterans Day (Armistice Day, Remembrance Day) this year, Huber’s Veterans Engaging Together for Success (VETS) Employee Resource Group (ERG) in collaboration with Disabilities Advancement and Wellness Network (DAWN) ERG held an event featuring Retired US Army Chief Warrant Officer 5, Gary Linfoot. Gary shared with employee attendees his experiences serving and the purpose behind the American Mobility Project – a nonprofit he started with his wife focused on providing equipment, resources and adaptations to enhance independent living for people with disabilities. Gary is also a former recipient of the Gary Sinise Foundation’s Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment (RISE) Program, of which Huber partners with annually to provide mortgage free smart homes to wounded veterans and first responders. Huber is proud to support and uplift the Veteran community and extends heartfelt gratitude for these heroes. #VeteransDay #CommunityEngagement #DEI  

Last week, employees in our Atlanta office jumped into action to serve meaningful causes within their local community. Organized by some of our Employee Resource Group (ERG) leaders, employee volunteers packaged 10,368 meals with Rise Against Hunger - a growing global movement to end hunger by empowering communities, nourishing lives and responding to emergencies.  Employee volunteers also rolled up their sleeves to plant trees with Trees Atlanta, supporting their mission of protecting and improving Atlanta’s urban forest.  These hands-on initiatives not only make a positive impact on the world around us, but also foster great teamwork while having a ton of fun. Thank you to our employees who raised their hands to support these initiatives!

Huber takes great pride in our commitment to being a good neighbor in the communities where we operate.  On October 22, we celebrated the completion of a new greenhouse at New Oxford Senior High School in New Oxford, Pennsylvania, funded by the Huber Helps Impact Your Community program. This facility will enhance educational opportunities in agriculture and science, helping students develop vital skills for the future. Also in Pennsylvania, female employees from across Huber participated in York Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build. On October 23, these ladies worked together to help construct the second-floor walls of a home for a single mother and her daughter. We’re grateful to be able to support our communities in these ways and look forward to continuing to make a lasting impact together.

Sending a huge congratulations to the Huber AgroSolutions (HAS) team on the opening of their brand-new Innovation Center in Hanover, Pennsylvania.   This state-of-the-art facility will bring together collaboration and creativity to foster innovation, technology and sustainability efforts within the agricultural space. Aligned with Huber’s Vision 150, we are excited to watch the advancements made by the HAS team through the use of this new space. #HuberCulture #Innovation #Agriculture   

Vision 150 is Huber’s guiding star as we take on the next ten years in a rapidly changing world.   We will strive to achieve our goals alongside four key Dimensions. The second of these dimensions reflects our longevity as a family-owned enterprise, which ensures continuous family ownership, enhanced connectivity and long-term focus remain competitive advantages in perpetuity. Teresa Schluter, Human Resources Manager for Huber Engineered Materials shares her perspective on the value of working for a family-owned organization.  #V150 #HuberCulture  

National Hispanic Heritage Month is coming to a close, having served as an opportunity for us to celebrate and honor the rich cultural tapestry that our Hispanic and Latinx employees bring to Huber.     The month kicked-off with an I Belong at Huber Q&A with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) Program Manager Monica Estrada. Centered around this year’s theme, “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together,” Monica shared how being a first-generation daughter of Mexican parents has shaped her vision for fostering an inclusive environment at Huber. “Navigating [bilingualism] has given me the ability to broaden my perspective, which I have found to be very helpful in my approach to problem solving in the workplace,” shares Monica.  In addition, Huber’s Organization for LatinX Advancement (HOLA) Employee Resource Group (ERG) hosted multiple events, including an engaging, hybrid session on building your personal brand and the annual Chili cook-off in the Atlanta office.  #IBelongAtHuber #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth #DEI #Inclusion
