Our products are important, too

I have read with interest many of the articles published in Horizons magazine – both the print and online editions. It is nice to have the news articles showcase our people – the individuals who make so many meaningful contributions and who work so hard to enhance the value of our company.

I would like to point out, however, that in addition to photographs and stories about our people, it also would be nice to see – from time to time – technical articles and photographs, diagrams, etc., of our products. I’m sure there are products that many of us are not even aware of and never come in contact with.

For instance, when I read the article, “A come-from-behind victory,” which was about our 2006 Chairman’s Team Award winner, I was disappointed about the lack of photographs featuring our head-up displays. After all, those displays are an integral part of the story.

Seeing photographs of the magnificent products we design and build at Rockwell Collins – those that many of us never see firsthand – could potentially increase a corporate sense of pride. It also could provide a way to round out employees’ knowledge about our company, our ever-growing product lines, and the market segments that we pursue.

Thank you.
