While Dustin’s current job responsibilities are those of a bulk driver, his impact and shared sense of responsibility to those around him have led to enhancing the businesses of our customers and suppliers in other ways. These are just a few of the phrases pulled from his many nominations. "Dustin Imthurn, a bulk driver, has been described as extremely dedicated, driven, determined, helpful, valuable, positive and a pleasure to work with. While many Columbia employees worked long hours to respond to the pandemic last year, I know of no one else who exerted such great and prolonged effort with such tremendous leadership." Andy Geisler, VP of Strategy Chris took control of defining process changes and training on a new pick technology. If that isn't enough, he dealt with a wildfire that shut down his warehouse two weeks before moving the operation 20 miles south of Portland to Canby, Oregon. Chris worked through unpredictable conditions, such as fluctuating volumes, product shortages and short staffing. He quickly took control of the situation, inspiring his team to respond with solutions and success in mind. At the same time, COVID-19 was creating imposing, volatile and scary working conditions.

Thanks, Stella for all you do now and all you have done for Reed Beverage Abilene over the years, and here’s to your continued success in the years to come."

She has proven time and time again that there’s nothing that she can’t or is not willing to do for our company. While Stella is still taking care of things in our office, she also takes care of our entire customer and supplier accounts receivable department. But it was her willingness, ideas and ability to learn that has given her the opportunity to take on additional roles within the company - from checking in drivers at the end of the day, to learning how to operate and eventually heading up and running our creative and sign department. She started as a part-time receptionist and we were immediately impressed with her personality and work ethic. ”Stella has been with our company since 1999, she has seen and dealt with a lot of changes over the past 17 years.
