The safety award is named after Gault Robinson because of his interest in safety training and bringing awareness and safety knowledge to his fellow employees. He was the first person to suggest that we invest in safety training and developed the first safety program for Joeris employees.
The Gault Robinson Safety Award is awarded to the person in each office who shows an uncompromised dedication to family first. These people take ownership of our safety culture, actively provide a safe work environment and expect the same out of their teammates, and they lead by example.
The Richard Warren Integrity Award
John Barney | ATX 
Terry Boatwright | DFW 
Michael Brown | HOU 
Manny Garcia | SAT
The integrity award was named after the late Richard Warren due to his continued ability to show up to work with a smile on his face and a positive spirit in the midst of five separate bouts of cancer. Richard worked on several projects during his time with us and helped to build our brand and differentiate us in DFW. He left behind an incredible legacy as a loving husband, a true company man, and someone who always did the right thing.
The Richard Warren Integrity Award is awarded to the person in each office who always chooses to do the right thing. These people respect others; build honest and trusting relationships; keep promises and are accountable; they model loyalty, commitment, and grit.
The Wilma Divin Leadership Award
Grant Hagar | ATX 
Corbyn Roberts | DFW 
Jeff Challis | HOU 
Janet Dusek | SAT
The leadership award was named after Wilma Divin because of her continued presence at Joeris after the passing of her husband, Johnny Divin. Wilma encourages others with her positive outlook and enthusiasm for life as she delivers baked goods to the Joeris offices. She is the epitome of selflessness and lives her life by some of the same tenets that we hold at Joeris.
The Wilma Divin Leadership Award is awarded to the person in each office who builds people, company, and community. These people embody the attributes of a servant leader, educate and develop values-based leaders, and clear the path for others to succeed.
The ‘Oldtimers’ Excellence Award
Ody Tsoutsos | ATX 
Mariana Flores | DFW 
Ray Espinoza, Jr. | HOU 
Tom Crews | SAT
The excellence award was named after the seasoned veterans of Joeris — Lindy Mechler, Billy Carter, Roger Avants, Johnny Divin, Tony Shisk, John Mayberry, and James Lynch. They are the spirit of our company and embody the traits that we strive for in ourselves. They deserve credit for a fair amount of our successes and remind us to value the impact we have on each other and those we serve.
The ‘Oldtimers’ Excellence Award is awarded to the person in each office who delivers superior performance, service, and results. These people are always looking for ways to improve, focus on providing an outstanding customer experience, and embrace opportunities for innovation.
Congratulations to all of our Values in Action Award winners. You make Joeris one of the best places to work, and we’re lucky to have you on our team.
