A Message from Thomas B. Poole

Dear Hallen Family, Customers and Friends,

On Thursday evening, December 18, 2008, I announced that, after 28 years as Hallen’s CEO, I was stepping down effective January 1, 2009 and on that date President and COO Robert Meschi would assume the role of CEO. At the same time, I announced that Shepard Poole would replace Bob as COO and President.

I will retain the title of Chairman and in this role I will support this dynamic duo in any way they may need me to do so.

Along with appointments of Bob and Shep, I also announced the elevation of Senior Vice President Michael Hickey to the position of Executive Vice President of Construction Operations and Senior Vice President Pascale (Pat) Ambrosio to Executive Vice President of Engineering and Estimating.

This team has over 75 years of dedicated service to the Company and I know they will carry on the 80 year tradition that has made Hallen a premier contractor in the construction industry we service.
