ANNIVERSARIES

A Message from Brien

When people join the Holman organization, they learn that Holman is more than a Team—it is a family. It is a privilege to honor Team Members who have recently celebrated their first year with Holman. We also applaud those who’ve been with us 5, 10, 15, and 20 years and more! In this issue, we recognize Team Members with anniversaries from January through March 2025. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.

I’ve enjoyed meeting new people, making friends…….. where did the time go?

Being able to operate a locomotive on site for railroad inbound was an opportunity of a lifetime. Working with many different people over the years is a challenge, but helping them grow has been a positive experience. Making new friends and keeping old ones has been rewarding.
