Do Great Work

Ken Gau, PE, LEED AP

“Looking back over my career, I enjoyed working with good people and doing great work the most. So to be recognized by my co-workers is very humbling and a little strange at the same time. I’m getting recognition for doing what I enjoy.”

Invest in Each Other

Bob Austin, PE

Vice President, Team Leader

“I am grateful to be selected as a LANnual Principal All-Star. When we invest in each other, we are actually sharpening the saw of our team for the projects we are working on and for future ones. There is a gift in giving, or in our case, investing in each other.”

Be Accountable

Natasha Lombard, EIT

Pipeline Engineer

“I was both surprised and grateful when I found out I had been chosen for Be Accountable! In the workplace, I think accountability goes both ways, and everybody needs to be on the same page to stay in harmony and be successful. I am lucky to be on a team with people who I know I can count on.”

Be A Team

Laura Casset, PE, CFM, CPESC

Do What’s Right

Christine Kirby, PE, ENV SP

“One of LAN’s maxims is to do what is right and success follows. The right path is not often the easy path. It requires courage and letting go of self-interest. Doing the right thing is essential in every aspect and a building block for success.“
