                                                  Aggregates and Concrete Association (TACA) during a July ceremony
                                                  attended by industry professionals from the across the state.

                                                  Numerous Martin Marietta teams across the Southwest Division also
                                                  attended the event and several were recognized with industry safety
                                                  awards.

                                                  Rogers was presented with the Sherry L. Moore Industry Professional
                                                  Award, an honor reserved for administrative, sales, marketing or support
                                                  professionals who “through their dedication, services and tenure have
                                                  made an impact on their company and our industry.”

                                                  Rogers, who has been with Martin Marietta for nearly two decades, said
                                                  she was shocked when she learned that she had won.

                                                  “Honestly, I was floored. I thought I had been invited to fill a seat at the
                                                  banquet. I had no idea I would be recognized,” she said. “Martin
                                                  Marietta has so many amazing people and there are so many who
                                                  deserve this award. It was a truly special moment.”

                                                  Rogers has worked at Hunter Stone since the New Braunfels, Texas, site
          Hunter Stone Office Manager Lisa Rogers  opened in 2017. In addition to her work running the site’s office, she
          accepts the Sherry L. Moore Industry
          Professional Award                      leads what has grown into a robust employee and community well-being
                                                  campaign. In recent years, Rogers said she and the Hunter team have
                                                  engaged in more than 200 events targeted at employee or community
                                                  health. In 2023 alone, the site participated in 62 such events, including
        volunteer days with the local food bank, quarry tours for school children, work with the Special Olympics and service
        opportunities with local emergency responders.

        “Personally, I enjoy activities involving children,” Rogers said. “It’s wonderful when we can teach them about our industry
        at such an early age. Their faces light up when they hear about all products our material is a part of. That’s my favorite
        thing.”

        While acknowledging that she, Hunter Plant Manager Pat Kinser and the entire quarry team have worked hard to
        represent Martin Marietta positively in the New Braunfels community, Rogers said their extraordinary community efforts
        would not have been possible without support from leaders across the Southwest Division and the greater company.

        “We have a strong sense of responsibility to our people and our communities, and I think our leadership has helped instill
        that feeling,” she said. “Our people are encouraged to be open and to talk with one another about safety, community,
        values and so many other things. We share ideas and thoughts. We build strong relationships. Employee and community
        well-being have always been so important to us. The fact that our relationships have grown so strong is what allows our
        team to work so closely and have such an amazing impact.”

        In addition to honoring Rogers, TACA also recognized several company teams for their exceptional safety performance,
        including Austin Plant Maintenance, the Beckmann Truck Shop, Poteet Sand, Beckman Quarry and North Bridgeport Quarry.
