TOP 5: Updates from Q2
1. sip & step 2024
May 6th – June 2nd we brought back Sip & Step.
The Roers employee walking and water challenge returned for the 4th year. Employees volunteered to participate and were placed on teams that brought the east and west together. The goal of each team was to bring in the highest number of steps and the most ounces of water they could each week.
Luckily for participants, our challenge fell over a time period where local 5k, 10k, and marathon events were held in their local areas.
2. RCC: The metropolitan opens
The long awaited opening of the first portion of the newest addition to The Metropolitan has opened! RPMR and construction worked hard to get the final finishing touches on the building prior to receiving the certificate of occupancy on the project the day before welcoming our first round new residents.
The hard work from all parties involved has not gone unnoticed, and this is reflected once you take a look at our quarterly employee recognition winners. Keep reading through the newsletter to find out who won this quarter.
Pictures here, you can see the current model unit!

5. Roers Employee picnic
This year, we decided to stay close to “home” for our annual employee picnic. We organized a picnic in the Roers back lot for employees and their families to attend! This year’s entertainment consisted of bounce houses and yard games. Concordia Catering brought in pulled pork and hot dogs. We also brought in another local vendor called the Ice Shack
It was a great evening full of friendly competition, bounce house adventure fun for the kids (and even some adults), food and treats.
We can’t wait for next year!

Q2 peer recognition award winners
Lindsey O'Driscoll
roers property management
fargo
GENERAL MANAGER
Being able to keep things organized in a hectic 18 months of a project is what Lindsey O has accomplished. Between new hires coming and going, training, turnover, and helping with the managing of opening a new property, she has grown in her role and has become a great leader. Kudos to Lindsey for taking the right path when property issues arise, difficult tenant communications are needed or project deadlines are changed. When The Metropolitan was opening, Lindsey was swamped and likely overwhelmed, but when residents arrived on opening day, they would never have known. She was professional and made each one of them feel welcome. When issues arose in a few units after move in, she calmly listened to each and ensured everything would be taken care of.
Dalton
Olson
Roers Construction
Fargo
PROJECT MANAGER
I want to nominate Dalton as he is truly a hard worker. He works well with RPMR. Working with him on The Metropolitan has made it so smooth. He listens to our crazy ideas and needs of the building. He faces every issue head on and is doing a great job with the team at The Metropolitan. I am grateful to be working along side of him during this building opening.
Jeff
Ekern
roers construction
fargo
Carpenter
Jeff does an excellent job of keeping jobsites safe. He is not afraid to go after subcontractors that may not be following the safety policies, and give them a little "on-the-job training". He is an advocate and a poster-boy for PPE. See Picture Attached. Jeff was nominated by the RCC safety committee.
Caden
Opheim
roers construction

Laborer
Caden is a great worker on tasks and jobs assigned. He takes responsibility of the job at hand, is always willing to ask questions and learn, and he's always on time.

NORTH DAKOTA
FIELD PERSONNEL
Field personnel are called on to make sacrifices. We expect our crews to work in all conditions: rain, snow, heat, extreme cold. They work long hours, from one project to the next, no matter the circumstances. You could say they are more reliable than the US mail. "Neither Rain Nor Steel Or Snow Will Detour Us From The Swift Completion Of Our Project."
