LEADERSHIP
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
A FUTURE CAREER
Job fairs aren't always exciting. But for Nicholas Derienzis,
mid-Atlantic recruiting coordinator, manning a booth at the
April multicultural job fair in Silver Springs, Maryland, led
to multiple connections with Spanish-speaking individuals
and the recruitment of a new trimmer for the Gaithersburg
R/C office.
"A lot of people see us out in the community but don't know
what we do, so we describe Davey Tree and the different
opportunities we have," Derienzis said. "The challenge of a
job fair is turning those encounters into actual employees."

DAVEY REPRESENTS AT KENT EXPO
The annual Kent Business, Healthcare and Community
Expo aims to bring the community, schools and local
businesses together. For Eric Phillips, Brohn Amstutz
and Mike Hale, of Davey's Akron R/C office, manning an
information booth at the expo allowed for face-to-face
time with over 1,200 people Davey serves each day.
"Davey is a part of Kent. We wanted to show our continued
support for the community. This event is great for us and
for people to see what we do," said Scott Heim, district
manager, Akron office.

LEADING BY EXAMPLE
FROM THE GROUND
For skills trainer Eduardo Medina, the 4th Annual Mexican
Tree Climbing Championship in Oaxaca, Mexico, was about
competition, education and safety.
"For me, there is nothing else more amazing than climbing,"
said Medina, who served as instructor, technician and judge
at the event. "As with Davey, in Mexico there is a focus on
being safe when you climb."
More than 30 competitors, including five women, took part
in the event from March 7-9. Davey served as a sponsor of
the event.
Eduardo Medina said Davey's sponsorship of the competition
exemplifies a culture of safety, professionalism and teaching.
