A Story of Hope

With March being Women’s History Month, Eggleston wanted to celebrate and highlight Hope Bress, the longest continuous serving employee at Eggleston! Hope’s Eggleston-versary is in February, and she has now served our organization for over 49 years!

Over the years, Hope has worked at nearly all business and contract locations, including working on the oil snare production. Oil snares are used for recovery of oil during spills, and they continue to be in use to this day.

Hope is a friend to everyone she meets, and she goes out of her way to check on her friends, see how they’re doing and give an update on how things are going in her world.

Hope’s dedication and commitment to Excellence In Action, her example to us all to persevere and overcome, and her guiding light are small parts of what makes Hope special and integral to the history of women, especially those right here at Eggleston!

“Don’t ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.” –Michelle Obama
