Congratulations to Tim Checchia and John Houck on their promotions to Associate Partners and Liz Haverstick on her promotion to Senior Interior Designer!

Tim, John and Liz have spent a combined 40 years at RLPS, so we asked them to look back at some of the people, projects and experiences that have shaped their time at RLPS.

Read Beth's story: https://www.rlps.com/news/beth-lorah-retires/

For many people, their relationship with RLPS began with a simple greeting from Beth Lorah.

Over the past 27 years, Beth welcomed everyone with genuine warmth and kindness. While most people know her as the friendly voice on the phone or the welcoming face at the front desk, those who worked alongside her know the care and compassion she brought to every interaction.

As Beth and her husband, Perry, begin retirement, we're celebrating the lasting impact she had on so many people and sharing a few of the memories and reflections from her time at RLPS.

Thank you, Beth, for being the welcoming voice of RLPS for so many years.

After 37 years with RLPS, Associate Partner Paul Nikolaus has retired.

Throughout his career, Paul helped shape senior living communities across the country while earning the respect of clients and colleagues alike. More importantly, he leaves behind a legacy of thoughtfulness, kindness, and genuine care for the people he worked alongside every day.

Thank you, Paul, for everything you've contributed to RLPS. We wish you all the best in retirement.

Here's a quiet moment from outside our Lancaster office yesterday.

This deer found a comfortable spot to rest in the shade and fresh mulch before continuing on its way.

Thanks for the photo, Jessie.

After 30+ years, we've learned two things:

- RLPS employees take egg protection very seriously.
- Rock-paper-scissors is sometimes the only way to determine a winner.

This year's World Cup themed Egg Drop featured custom-built contraptions, soccer-ball attacks, rainy weather, ice cream, and eggs that refused to lose.

Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who helped make another memorable start to summer.

We're pleased to share the promotions of Ty Shappell to Associate Partner and Stefanie DePugh to Senior Marketing Coordinator.

Ty and Stef have each contributed to RLPS in different ways over the years, helping support our clients, project teams, and firm culture through their expertise, leadership, and commitment to the work.

To mark the occasion, we asked them to reflect on the experiences that shaped their careers and the perspectives they bring to their roles today.

Congratulations to both on this next chapter.

When we're not transforming lives through our projects, we're transforming finish materials into high fashion. A team from RLPS participated in IIDA Pennsylvania / New Jersey / Delaware Chapter's Fashion Meets Finish competition on May 8. They turned carpet fiber, weld rods, and other finish and fabric samples into an original, wearable design. The final result was shown on the catwalk at Rivers Casino in Philadelphia.
