Sam Houston Electric Cooperative offices were closed Jan. 20, 2014, for a special opportunity for learning, planning and fellowship that comes only once a year.
All of the more than 160 Sam Houston EC employees gathered together at the Polk County College and Commerce Center in Livingston for an all-employee training day.
The day kicked off with Co-op updates from executive staff, including system projects and Cooperative goals, as well as sharing successes from 2013.
The focus of the day, however, took stride when the keynote speaker took the stage. Clint Swindall, of Verbalocity and the author of “Living for the Weekday” and “Engaged Leadership,” spoke to the group about living for a greater purpose. He shared his vision on the importance of engaging employees in the workplace, and how it ultimately improves service to its membership.
Carolyn Cerbo, digestive health and wellness expert, later got the crowd on their feet with her tips on living healthier and living better.
The all-employee training day wrapped up with the presentation of employee service awards.
