The Sundt Foundation has named two new officers and two new members to its board of directors. Andrew Apostolik, a group engineer in Tempe and former vice president of the foundation, advanced to the position of president for the coming year. He replaces outgoing president Jacque Hoppes, a project administrator in the company’s San Diego office. Randy Rusing, a preconstruction project manager in Tempe, will serve as vice president.
Meanwhile, Jessica Beyer, an estimator in San Diego, and Alexis Marshall, a project engineer in San Antonio, were elected to the board.
The Sundt Foundation was established by Sundt in 1999 to give its employee-owners a means of giving back to their communities. It provides financial support to nonprofit organizations dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged children and adults through organizations located near a Sundt office. Primarily funded by contributions from Sundt employees and company matching, the foundation recently surpassed the $6 million mark in donations since its inception.
The Sundt Foundation Board of Directors is composed of 12 employee-owners, four appointed by the company and eight elected by the membership. The board convenes quarterly to approve grants based on recommendations made by employee committees in each Sundt office. Sundt recognizes the importance of community giving. Today, its employees remain dedicated to ensuring the well being of others, donating generously to charitable causes and volunteering thousands of hours each year to help various local organizations achieve their missions. For many employees, the Sundt Foundation is the principal way by which they give back to the communities they call home.
