ATLAS I NSURANCE AGEN CYPAGE 6Atlas Core Values—Kakou & LokahiThis month, a few employees (and an Agent) of the Hilo and Kona offices really stood out in showing theircore values of Kakou and Lokahi. Like the Oahu office, we had ordered the face shields/barriers as well forHilo & Kona but for them, they had to manage the set-up and installation themselves. Specifically wanted tomention Ardis Aburamen, Loxley Hainrrik, Lisha Nakamura, Becki Rodgers and Lina Weinstock.Let’s start with the superwomen of the Hilo office. Little did we know, the delivery person could NOT bringup the barriers to the second floor. With no complaints and just taking it upon themselves, Lisha and Loxleyhad to lug up the barriers with the awkwardness of a covering of a large wood crate that was 82 lbs. on theirown up the stairs! Not to mention, Lisha brought in a drill to work on getting the large wood casing undone.Once that was complete, Ardis later jumped in to help put it together! Thank you for all working together andbeing positive about it at the same time, we appreciate that hard work!And then at the Kona office, we have Becki who is another superwoman and had to bring her tools to open thewood crate as well. Thank you for the time you took to set it up along with Lina! There is another part onorder that needs to come in and will require minor assembling but one of our Agents, Eugene Tagawa is thereand ready and willing to jump in and assist with assembling!We really appreciate everyone helping and working as a team together with this heavy lifting, speaking Kakouand working with Lokahi!
