I'm thrilled to be part of this incredible project and to collaborate with such an exceptional team of professionals. This has been a significant endeavor, filled with long hours and countless challenges. Congratulations on reaching one million hours! Rincon Consultants, Inc.

This summer, Rincon proudly participated in the Environmental, Engineering, and Planning Internship and Charrette (EEPIC). As part of the EEPIC experience, 10 bright interns from six top firms (Rincon, Ascent, Environmental Science Associates, Dudek, Fehr & Peers, and PlaceWorks) came together in a Charrette to tackle real-world environmental challenges. Over two weeks, these emerging professionals collaborated in person to create a conceptual plan for enhancing a conservation site in the City of Elk Grove. Their work culminated in a dynamic presentation to city officials, showcasing innovative solutions in land use, resource management, and community engagement. Rincon is committed to fostering diversity and growth within the environmental and planning sectors, and this year’s EEPIC program was a testament to that mission. The hands-on experience, networking, and mentorship provided through EEPIC are key to shaping the next generation of environmental leaders. Here's to the future of sustainable planning and the amazing talent that’s paving the way! 🌍🚀 #InternshipSuccess #EnvironmentalLeadership #DiversityInPlanning

Last week, an amazing group of people gathered in Sun Valley, Idaho to share ideas, stories and experiences; members of Tugboat Institute, leaders of Evergreen® companies. A community of like-minded, driven, and passionate people that are building companies to last, endure and thrive. I was proud to represent the company I have helped build over the last 22 years, Rincon Consultants, Inc. At this year's annual Summit, a new acknowledgement was presented, the inaugural Best Evergreen Companies™ list. Rincon Consultants, Inc. is one of only 36 companies in the world to be awarded Certified Evergreen Status (this number will grow as this movement catches on). Through a rigorous evaluation process, each company is weighed and measured against The Tugboat Institute Evergreen 7Ps® principles: Purpose Perseverance People First Private Profit Paced Growth Pragmatic Innovation Only the top 25 were selected. As the names were being announced, I was asked if I expected to make the list. I replied that I did not, and as it turns out, we did not make the inaugural list. I was in no way disappointed, not one bit. Why? We are young-in-spirit on this journey, and we know where we need to continue improving, and where we are succeeding within our independent success driven ethos focused on delivering value to our clients. We have a lot to learn and a lot to do. Of those that were selected, many have been engaged and involved in evergreen-style best practices for decades…a couple nearing or over 100 years old…and are much further along than we are, hence my expectations. Still, I was curious. I wanted to know where our amazing company stood amongst the giants in the top 25. As it turns out we were within a couple of points of making the list. I share this as I cannot express what an accomplishment and sense of validation this brings me for the work we have done and continue to do to build a purposeful organization, a community motivated to create a legacy for future generations, inspiring positive change in our communities and natural environments while building strong, lasting relationships based in trust and fairness. Congrats to all those that have done the work to become Certified Evergreen, and especially to those that earned their deserved place on the 2023 Best Evergreen Companies list. #Rinconlife #Rincon #RinconConsultants #EvergreenCompanies #PurposeDriven #TugboatInstitute #BestEvergreenCompanies
