Today we announce the retirement of our President and CEO, Robert Hawkins. The letter he sent to employees reads, in part, “After 42 years of working with RPS I am excited, happy, and, perhaps, a bit apprehensive to announce I am retiring effective March 31, 2019. I have been very fortunate to have worked with so many generous people over my career who have taught, coached, mentored and supported me. We have faced many challenges over the years and have always persevered, I believe, because of our culture of taking care of each other first, knowing that if we do that, everything else will take care of itself. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support and dedication to RPS and each other….”
We wish Robert good health and happiness as he moves into this next phase, highlighted by golf, more time with family, kayaking, and travel. Best wishes can be sent to Robert here: rhawkins@rpscomposites.com.
We will announce his successor in the coming weeks.
