Houston AMA Luncheon Features "KBR: Transforming a Legacy"

HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--
The August 13 American Marketing Association luncheon features
Karen Hooper, Director, Marketing Communications and Strategy at KBR,
who will share how a 100-year old company has transformed itself as it
moves forward as a one-year old independent entity.

KBR has been a part of Houston since George and Herman Brown
established the engineering and construction company 100 years ago.
KBR's Brown & Root foundations literally built some of the foundations
in Houston, from Rice Stadium to NASA to Minute Maid Park. KBR
separated from Halliburton in 2007 and has since established itself as
a public, standalone, Fortune 500 company, the fourth largest U. S.
contractor based on revenues.

Marketing to private and government entities the world over with
the largest portion of its business coming from the energy industry,
KBR has worked to transform its brand, enhance client relationships,
and support sales goals.

The monthly luncheon will be held August 13 at 11:30 am at the
Junior League of Houston, 1811 Briar Oaks Lane. Reservations are
accepted online at www.regonline.com/kbr until Monday, August 11.
