Overland Park, Kan. - Aligning with a strategy for growth and continued client-facing service delivery, Affinis Corp is restructuring its ownership by welcoming nine company co-workers.

"At a time when many in the industry are facing tough economic challenges, we are gratified to be able to offer our key performers an ownership package," said, Rick Worrel, who will continue to serve as the President of the company he started more than 10 years ago.

Executive Principal level owners are Worrel, Mike McKenna and Robert Ubben. In addition to being part of the leadership of Affinis, McKenna has extensive experience in traffic engineering, ITS and transportation planning. Ubben has been a longtime Affinis team member as the survey manager.

Additional Principal owners include: Jason Davis, Ryan Fleming, Les Hamilton, Brent Johnson, Tim McEldowney, Linda Rottinghaus and Cliff Speegle.

"Though we are in growth mode, we are fully committed to maintaining our intense focus on our client's need," said Worrel, "We were founded on the vision of understanding wants and fulfilling expectations. By strengthening our ownership and leadership teams we have increased our ability to creatively and efficiently meet the needs of our clients." 

In a world in which customer service means less more often than it means more, Affinis Corp is staking its future on relationships with clients. In fact, Affinis means “relationship” in Latin. Today the firm has more than 30 co-workers in our two offices, one in Overland Park, Kansas and one in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.
