Andy was Chief plumbing and mechanical inspector at the City of Tuscaloosa. Andy loved working with youth through coaching sports. He coached little league baseball and football, but found his passion was coaching girls’ fast pitch softball. He was also a master craftsman and could always be found working on a project in his shed. Andy made beautiful bird houses, pictures frames, and special gifts that would light up the faces of even those who had everything! He could fix anything and usually better than it was before. He was known for his quick and sarcastic wit, and his kind and compassionate spirit. Andy had a loving heart and a calling for thinking of ways he could use his time and talents to do things for others.

Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
