OWNER'S BOX
"
I love my stock. I've
been an owner for 12
years and with Davey
for 13. I started buying
stock the minute I
could. It strengthens
the culture, primarily
by safety and image.
Crews will be safer.
If you have more
invested into the
company, then you
are inherently thinking
more on a larger scale
about the company.
Being an employee-
owner gives you
more dedication to
the company.
