It is our hope that this 20th Anniversary issue captures the journey Champion has taken over the past two decades. While some of the information will span all of that time, many of the items will focus on the last 10 years or so. The reason for this is because in November of 2015 we put together the 15th Anniversary Issue that delved deep into those years with sections on:
- Starting Out (2000 – 2003)
- Growing Pains (2004 – 2008)
- Bigger Challenges and Improvements (2009 – 2015)
We encourage everyone who has not previously read it, or those who have and just want to take a stroll down memory lane, to please check it out.
Leadership Panel
For our 20th anniversary, we decided to invite our Leadership team to a panel discussion about Champion’s history, where we are, and where we’re going. We sourced questions from you, Champion’s employees, and did our best to address the overall topics you asked about. The topics included:
- Champion’s past – Champion’s first customers and how we got started
- Growth – Future of the industry
- New sectors & Champion’s offerings – Plans to grow the company’s footprint and overall reach
- Future goals for the company – Our plans moving forward and how employees can contribute
- Brand recognition – Growing Champion’s brand
- Maintaining our culture and how employees can contribute
The Leadership team allocated two hours to discuss a lot of topics, so we hope they answered your questions sufficiently.
Thank you for all of your pointed and poignant questions. They appreciate each of you speaking up, speaking straight, and letting them know your thoughts. They made an effort to do the same. Our Leadership team was as candid as possible and would be happy to have additional conversations about any of the topics.
The Leadership Team would also be willing to host another Q&A for further dialog if employees are interested. Let us know.
