THE PEOPLE OF SRNS

Shawna Lloyd has enjoyed rewarding assignments in Tritium and Site Services
over her five-year career at SRS, but it’s the SRNS commitment to give back
to the community that makes her especially proud to be part of this company.
“Several years ago, I found myself a divorced, single mother of four children
who had lost her job, and it was United Way agencies who helped keep me on
my feet, directing me to health insurance options and resources for my young
children,” explained Lloyd. “I made a promise that I would never turn my back
on helping others who might be in similar circumstances. And it’s wonderful
that SRNS leadership supports that same commitment.”
In the community, she serves on the boards of directors for: Aiken County
Habitat for Humanity; Arts and Heritage Center of North Augusta (AHCNA);
and the Jessye Norman School of the Arts. “I feel especially blessed to align
my volunteer time with organizations that my company also generously
supports,” she said.
“Shawna was instrumental in getting more African-American artists connected
