When Mr. George made it possible for his associates to become stockholders in 1930, he didn’t just create company owners — he established our culture of ownership. He invested in associates because he wanted them to share in the company’s success and know their efforts make a difference.

Today, we continue to invest in you through the benefits we offer — from stock ownership to health plans and more. This month, during your annual Associate Benefits Meeting, you’ll learn more about these benefits and the resources available to you. I encourage you to ask questions. And if you received Retirement Benefits and Annual Total Rewards summaries in March, I hope you’ll take another look at them on the My Documents page on PASSport.

We invest in you because you are the key to our success. Just as Mr. George believed in taking care of associates, we remain committed to offering benefits and resources that support you. Let’s continue to own our legacy and build a future we can all be proud of.

Thanks for all you contribute.
