Conway Corporation

Conway Corp recently won the Large Employer Campaign of the Year award by United Way of Central Arkansas at their Community Awards Luncheon. Conway Corp Telecommunication Systems Manager Tommy Nolen called the award an honor. “It has been an honor to serve as the Conway Corp campaign coordinator for the past 12 years,” Nolen said. “The United Way has such a positive impact in our community, I couldn’t imagine what our community would look like without their presence.” Conway Corp employees donated approximately $30,000 last year and corporate donations have contributed more than $738,000 in total to United Way since the program began. “I am proud to work with such giving colleagues who love the community and are willing to invest in it selflessly. The missionary Amy Carmichael once said: ‘You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.’ I am happy to give.” This is Nolen’s last year coordinating campaigns for United Way donor relations. Power Supply/Major Accounts Analyst Natalie Arnold will coordinate future campaigns. “I will miss getting to meet with each employee one on one as we conduct the campaign, but I know the incoming campaign coordinator will do an excellent job as she shares the same passion for the United Way as I do. Natalie will do great things with this campaign.” The United Way of Central Arkansas’ mission is to impact our community members by fostering a greater quality of life through initiatives focused on education, health and financial stability.

Conway Corp Wastewater Plant Superintendent Bill Fulmer retired last week after serving more than 45 years of service to Conway Corp and the Conway community. Bill joined the company as a plant operator in January 1979 at 19 years old. After 15 years of dedicated service, he was promoted to chief plant operator in October 1994. He was promoted to superintendent in February 1997. In his role, Bill managed the comprehensive operations and maintenance of stationary mechanical equipment at the Tupelo Bayou Wastewater Plant, as well as overseeing the plant's employees and schedules. He ensured the efficient functioning of water pumping stations to ensure successful treatment. Bill also worked closely with farmers and residents on biosolid application sites and conducted soil sampling, to provide essential utility services to Conway residents and businesses. Throughout his time with the company, he saw many changes. “When I started, the wastewater plant was very small. There were just a few pumps and small clarifiers. When they began building Stone Dam, we saw all of the electronic stuff and were a little nervous learning a new system. But we learned the new technology and with automation, now we can turn pumps on and off at our stations, slow them down or speed them up all over the plant. We used to have to do all of this manually.” After serving his company and community for many years, Bill’s work ethic and dedication will be missed. “Bill has been a great asset to the city of Conway and Conway Corp during his 45-year career helping ensure that the wastewater treatment plant produced a high-quality effluent,” Water Systems Manager Lee Tedford said. “He has helped me along the way learning the many different factors that make up the treatment process. I hope Fulmer enjoys retirement to the fullest." Bill describes his retirement as “bittersweet,” but is looking forward to his plans for the future which include fishing and doing some work on his land. He also looks forward to spending more time with Tammy, his wife of 44 years, and his three grandchildren Gracie, Riker and Maverick. Congrats, Bill!

By remaining exceptionally attentive to Conway's drinking water for the past 25 years, Gary has shown his devotion to this work, and we are all thankful." Congrats, Gary! #ConwayCorp #AlwaysOn #WorkAnniversary
