Retirement Announcement
We at CEESI are delighted and disheartened to announce the retirement of a great man in Steve Caldwell. Steve has dedicated 52 years of his life to the measurement industry, 30 of those years he served as CEO and President of CEESI and the WEST Companies. Steve is a gifted leader, and we at CEESI have been blessed to work under that leadership. His service to our industry and this company is a loss but well-deserved. We are indebted to his vision, council, and commitment that he brought to work with him every day. Much of Steve’s accomplishments must be attributed to his beautiful wife Patricia. Her commitment and patience was the rock that CEESI was built upon. We want to say congratulations to both of them, and god speed to a new life and new adventure.
