A Heartfelt Thank You this Giving Season | BAYCOM

Written by Scott Johnson | July 21, 2025

 

As the season of gratitude is upon us, we at BAYCOM wanted to take a moment to reflect on all the reasons we are thankful, grateful & blessed -- and at the top of that list is you: our customers, trusted partners, and employees.

To Our Customers

We take great pride in our mission to keep communities and workforces secure and thank you for trusting us with your business. Allowing our team at BAYCOM to be part of your safety and security journey inspires us to continually improve and innovate so we can continue to better serve you for years to come. 

Providing each of you with the communication equipment needed in order to be your lifeline in the moments that matter is something we don't take lightly. To us, you are more than just customers, you are businesses who understand the importance of keeping your own customers and employees safe. The relationships we've built over the months and years go beyond transactions; they are connections that remind us of the power of community. Thank you for making this not only a year to remember, but a safe and secure one too! 

"We had an idea of how we wanted our radio system to work, We put it in, got it up and running, got past the learning curve and then said to ourselves, 'This is nice. Now, what else can we do with it? The sky is the limit!" 

- Kyle Thompson, Mequon-Thiensville School District Director of Building and Grounds 

To Our Trusted Vendors and Partners 

Your collaboration and reliability are vital to our success. You help us deliver the quality, consistency, and excellence that our customers have come to expect and deserve. We are thankful for the strong partnerships we've built and the shared vision that fuels our growth. Together, we achieve so much more than we could alone. 

Our Brand Promise is IT WILL WORK, and with that one of our key initiatives is We've Done the Research when it comes to who we choose to partner with: 

  • Panasonic:  We are proud to offer Panasonic TOUGHBOOK devices for our customers. Panasonic makes some of the best TOUGHBOOK laptops and tablets on the market that are made to survive through hazardous environments, extreme weather and more. We couldn't be more thankful for our Panasonic team who continues to set us up for success and provide product in a quick turnaround time for our customers. 
  • Motorola: If you need the best, the two-way radios from Motorola Solutions feature advanced technology that delivers security, sound quality and dependable communication. Motorola provides communications built with a purpose and a powerful safety and ecosystem with video security systems and voice, video and data all unified in a single command center view. Thank you to our Motorola team who continues to keep our team informed and educated on the latest and greatest products coming to the market. 
  • And more! 

To our Employees and Veterans 

Behind every success story at BAYCOM is the hard work, creativity, and dedication of our team. Thank you for bringing the best version of yourself to work each day and making this company a place of innovation, collaboration, community, and most importantly, making everyday fun. 

We also wanted to take a moment to honor those among us who have served in the armed forces and continue to make meaningful contributions in their civilian careers:

  • Jeff Hauck: US Air Force

  • Bryan Winker: US Army
  • Richard Poff: US Army
  • Darren Olson: US Marine Corps

These values align with our mission at BAYCOM, and they inspire all of us to be better teammates and leaders. Thank you for your service to our country and for choosing to share your talents with us. We are honored to have you as part of our team and deeply grateful for the sacrifices you've made.
