Southwest We hosted our first-ever Tough Rougher competition
where four 8-man crews from each region went head-
to-head to see who could rough a 900-sq-ft apartment
unit the best and fastest for the chance to win $35,000.
Each team had a designated QC judge to score them
on safety, quality, and timeliness to determine the best
tough rougher team.

suave seniors!

#PDILIFE

The end of 2018 was full of #PDILIFE-worthy moments. From coast-to-coast field connections to regional meetings, we’ve traveled
the nation to spend time with our PDI fam. Plus we showed our PDI pets some love, hosted a Health Fair, and more stellar events!

TAKING THIS SHOW ON
THE ROAD

A look at our regional meetings around the country in 2018:

Communication is key! Our regional meetings help us connect directly with our best-in-class field teams. We make sure our
crews know where PDI is heading, how positive our business outlook is (largely because of their performance!), what our corporate
priorities are, and what their support network in the office is doing to help them be successful. Most importantly, we get to hear
feedback directly from them. Shout out to our training team for their nation-wide dedication to keeping the field informed!

10 CITIES | 8,136 MILES TRAVELED | 1,000+ ATTENDEES

My favorite part of regional meetings
is the casual conversations during
lunch, over breaks, and at the happy
hour where I get to know the guys and
gals making it happen… and spending
some time with the old friends I don’t
get to see as often.

THE STUDENT
BECOMING
THE MASTER

We went all out for National Apprenticeship Week 2018!

With the fate of the trades in the hands of our youth, we wanted to do something special to recognize National Apprenticeship
Week and the Great American Teach In! We welcomed middle and high schoolers to the GRID and visited schools to teach
students about the electrical industry. We also got to know some of our apprentices around the country, and were even
featured on CBS Miami!

We showed
Buchanan Middle
School's eighth-
graders around the
GRID and loved their
curiosity for all things
electrical. These
students meant
business!

We welcomed
students to Power

them excited about
the trade!
