COMPANY OVERVIEW
Southwest Division Office Manager Earns Award for
Service to the Industry
Hunter Stone Office Manager Lisa Rogers was honored by the Texas
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.
