EARLEY DEPARTURE FROM TRADER TO TRAVELER

Lumber Trader Mike Faulk retired after a 20 year career at
Do it Best. Mike started working at the Southeast lumber
office and helped grow the company as a premier source for forest products
in that region. He became a trusted adviser to the members he served
and many considered him more than just their lumber trader. “Mike is the
definition of a servant leader and he did it without needing any recognition
or attention. It was a privilege working with him and I'm proud to call him a
friend,” said Sales Manager Rob Williams. Staff at the Lexington warehouse
had a nice retirement celebration for him where Mike enjoyed chocolate
eclairs. Now, he and his wife Sue will spend time traveling around the
country. Mike is also a photography buff, and wants to grow the business he
has with his daughter.


After serving at the Montgomery warehouse for
nearly 20 years, Order Filler Wayne Earley worked
his last day in January. Wayne worked side by
side with Department Manager Alan Ennest for
nearly his entire career. His veteran leadership was
invaluable for training new people and creating
efficiencies in the warehouse. “Wayne was
committed to Do it Best and his fellow co-workers.
He was someone we could rely on every day and
was the anchor of the filling department. We will
miss him much but wish him the best with his
retirement,” said Alan.



PANYARD HAS NEW PLANS


Advertising Service Representative Lydia Panyard
retired on February 1 after 20 years with
Do it Best. “Lydia will be missed not only by our team but by
all the members she faithfully served. She was always willing
to tackle any and all of the changes that I would send her
way,” said Advertising Sales Supervisor Michelle Pesek. To help
her celebrate, Lydia’s husband Mike, her brother, and her son
and daughter-in-law stopped by to enjoy lunch and cake with the Consumer Marketing team. Lydia and Mike are looking forward to
spending more time together working on house projects and visiting their four grandkids.

AMANDA HONORED WITH ADDY AWARD


Since being awarded as the new artist for the Auburn Cord
Duesenberg Festival last year, Graphic Artist Amanda Peet has
been on an artistic adventure that has given her more experience and joy
than she ever dreamed. Each year the American Advertising Federation honors
excellence in creative advertising with their prestigious ADDY Awards, and her
work for the festival earned her an ADDY Award in the non-profit category.
“Winning an ADDY helps validate that my work as a graphic artist stands up
to the work of advertising agencies and other high visibility marketing firms
in the area. I had big shoes to fill taking over for the last festival artist and
this honor helps cement my place as a professional who means business,”
Amanda said.
In addition to the ADDY for the festival poster, Amanda has won two
ADDYs for her work here at Do it Best - in 2005 for her work on our winter
conference campaign and in 2011 for her design of the Heart Walk logo.
Congrats, Amanda!

INFORMATION SECURITY:
TRAVEL SECURELY

If you're taking your devices on the road, be aware that gadget
theft is an issue almost anywhere you travel. Not only should you
take precautions to protect your devices from thieves, but you
should also configure them for maximum security so that if they
are stolen, your personal data will stay private.
Protect your devices
First, check that you're running the latest version of your device's
operating system and security software. Next, consider tightening
your security settings. Make sure your device is password- or
passcode-protected so thieves can't access your information if it's
stolen. If it's already protected, consider decreasing the time it
takes for the screen to lock when not in use.
Once on the road, use only legitimate WiFi hotspots. Hackers if you've accessed sensitive information (under the browser's
