Proud of Our Lone Star Awards Finalist, Jacob Crockett

EarthWorks was excited to return to the Lone Star Awards and Leadership Celebration held at the Hurst Conference Center on January 26, 2024. The annual event honors outstanding individuals and teams contributing to the Fort Worth Apartment Association (FWAA) service area while welcoming new leaders for AATC.

We had a special reason to be in attendance. Jacob Crockett, the Chief Operating Officer of EarthWorks, was nominated for the prestigious Supplier Partner of the Year award. 

The event also served us an opportunity to support our fellow industry partners, including Cortland Properties, one of our largest landscaping clients (nominated in the Community Built Between 2001 – 2010 category). 

Although Jacob didn’t take home the trophy, we recognize the incredible honor it was to be considered for the award, let alone named a finalist. The entire team at EarthWorks applauds him. It was special being in the company of other incredible and talented folks in our own backyard, supporting one another and raising the bar for what we can achieve collectively.

A Night to Remember

We had a blast with the theme, which had us all decked out in Bond 007-inspired attire. In addition to the glamour of sharp, tailored suits, sleek ties, and elegant dresses, the 700 attendees were treated to a culinary experience that was nothing short of exceptional.
