Award-Winning Connections: Honoring Our ESOP Intranet Excellence

This month, our ESOP committee traveled to Las Vegas for the annual Employee-Owned Conference. We were honored not only to be nominated, but to bring home the AACE Award in the Intranet category, and we’re truly thankful for the opportunity to be recognized among so many inspiring employee-owned companies!

Our intranet serves as a one-stop shop for all things ESOP, giving both our on-site and off-site teams easy access to resources that support engagement and ownership across the company. This award is a proud moment for our team and a testament to the work behind creating a meaningful, connected ESOP experience.

Stepping Up for Heroes: Williams Company Leads the Way at the Tunnel to Towers Climb

Last month, Williams Company STEPPED UP—one stride at a time—to make a meaningful impact! We were proud to once again help sponsor a Tunnel to Towers Foundation fundraiser, and this year we were honored to be the top team sponsor, raising more than $10,000 to support this incredible organization.

The event, known as the “Tower Climb,” challenged participants to ascend 40 flights of stairs in honor of our first responders and in remembrance of September 11th. 33 Williams  team members took on the climb, demonstrating their commitment to the cause and to our community.
It’s yet another powerful example of Williams Company giving back and making a difference.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation, founded in 2002 to honor FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller—who gave his life on September 11, 2001—continues its mission by supporting wounded First Responders and Military Members, as well as the families of fallen heroes.
