Brookside Conference 2018

Jaclyn Oler • October 19, 2018

Manager's conference was in Nashville, TN this year.

Conference this year took place from September 12th-14th at The Thompson Hotel in Nashville, TN. The hotel was impressive – modernly designed and curated with contemporary taste. A highlight of the venue is LA Jackson, the Rooftop bar. The bar boasts stellar views, wonderful atmosphere, and convenient access to Nashville nightlife during your stay. We all teamed up and participated in a Nashville Scavenger Hunt that was very competitive. The teams were made randomly, so many different employees from different departments were working together! Thought there were only two winning teams, we all enjoyed running around Nashville and discovering the fun history of the city! The annual awards ceremony commenced on Wednesday afternoon.

This years Nelson Award winners were Cassandra Arnold, Jon Dudor, Kathy Johnson, Melissa Jones, and Caroline Thompson. There was a solemn moment of remembering our dear friend Suzie Campbell, who passed away unexpectedly. Miles Warfield read aloud a heartfelt letter written by ______, her _______. Susie will be dearly missed, and was a blessing to everyone she encountered. This year’s conference also marked the inaugural unveiling of the Gortmaker Award, which was named in honor of Jim Gortmaker and awarded to him. The Gortmaker Award is meant to commemorate the exceptional service of Maintenance and Grounds team members , and is established as a companion to the Nelson Award, which typically goes to corporate and multifamily managers. A highlight of the conference was our Vendor Appreciation Night at Adele’s.

All around, Conference 2018 was a smashing success. We’ll see you all next year!

Brookside showed up in Chicago ready for history, baseball and pizza and Chicago did not disappoint! We enjoyed the riverboat architecture tour, an amazing game at Wrigley Field and some great cocktails at the Museum of Science and Industry. The Blackstone Hotel was gorgeous, refined and in the middle of everything! Every year we enjoy this getaway with our team and spending some quality time with the amazing team we have here at Brookside, and every year we get to explore a new city with this team. What will 2020 have in store?
