COMMUNITY WELL-BEING

Though the Martin Marietta/Shaw partnership is still relatively new, the Company is confident there will be ample
opportunities for the Company and the university’s students to work together. “Partnering with Shaw University right
here in our corporate home of Raleigh is directly aligned with our commitment to investing in the strength of the
communities in which we live and work,” Santre said. To this end, the Company is currently partnering with Professors
Barbara Powell and Matthew Gargano to undertake an information session for students on the various opportunities that
are available within the Company’s organization. Santre views this as a win-win for the Company and for students in a
competitive job market.

Founded in 1865, Shaw University is a private liberal arts institution affiliated with the Baptist Church. It was the first
historically Black university in the Southern United States and is among the oldest such universities in the country.
Throughout its history, the school has consistently moved academics forward in North Carolina. Shaw was the first college
in the state to offer a four-year medical school, the first institution of higher learning established for freedmen after the
Civil War, and the first historically Black university to open its doors to women. Learn more at shawu.edu.

Bahama Rock-Solid Relationships

Local Community Relations Committee Brings Major Benefits to People of Island Nation
It’s not the palm trees or rolling seas that capture your attention. Or even the endless blue skies or the massive dragline.
What really grabs you at Bahama Rock and makes those first moments memorable is the Wall of Fame. From top to
bottom, the blue wall is full of plaques featuring names, photos and years of service, often spanning several decades.
With the crew of 80 miners averaging about 14 years in the industry, the team is both experienced and dedicated to their
industry. But their story is so much deeper.

Venture into the operation and you learn quickly how so
many decades-long careers have been built there. But while
our team at Bahama Rock are all passionate about safely
crushing rock, they are just as enthusiastic about giving back
to the island community they work to strengthen.

Foreman Brian Burrows’ plaque celebrates nearly 35 years of
service with Martin Marietta. Throughout that time, he’s
contributed to the team as a utility worker, a haul truck
driver and a loader operator. He’s held a number of other
roles, too, but says his favorite has nothing to do with Bahama Rock’s Wall of Fame highlights the people who make
crushing rock. For Burrows, the greatest sense of satisfaction the quarry and the community special.
comes from his work spearheading the Bahama Rock
Community Relations Committee.
“Throughout my time here, I’ve had the opportunity to speak with a lot of different people, but what I enjoy most is
helping our community,” he says. “It’s what I get to do, and for me, it makes all the difference.”

Burrows is an important part of Bahama Rock’s community engagement efforts, but he doesn’t stand alone. There are 10
others on the committee and each is eager to invest in the island and its people. Each year, the committee receives
numerous community requests from organizations and agencies seeking assistance. The group reviews every request,
then considers the projects that allow them to help most while having the greatest impact on the local community.
