CELEBRATING 50 GREAT YEARS
T
he Association has achieved and
celebrated many milestones
this year but perhaps our
most significant is our 50th
anniversary as an organization. Fifty years
of protecting and promoting this great
industry, is truly something to recognize and
celebrate. We have been reflecting upon
our past in a variety of ways and having fun
doing it.
After months of preparation and planning,
our 50th Anniversary kicked off at the
January Economic Conference, where we
launched the Golden Loyalty Award for 50
years of membership, which was presented
to Standard Interiors, the organization’s
first Supplier Member. Standard Interiors
has set a standard of loyalty, support,
participation and engagement with 50 years
of continuous membership.
In February we organized our first
throwback event with nearly 200 members
aboard the Ski Train to Winter Park for a
day of skiing and networking. This is the
first time in ten years since we organized a
member ski trip and hope to do it again in a
few years.
In April we had our Women’s Division
throwback luncheon, which a celebration
of women in our industry. A iconic panel
www.aamdhq.org
consisted of Sharon O’Connell, Mary Wessler,
Judy Blaes and Stephanie Brock who
described their experiences in the context
of successful women in our industry. Their
insight was motivational and inspiring for any
young female aspiring to grow their career.
The event celebrated,
and put a spotlight
on exactly where
it should for giving
due credit to all the
talented women who
have...and continue
to make our industry
successful.
Our Education
Conference and
Trade Show in May
was themed “Through the Decades”, and
featured their companies and services in
unique displays based on the a decade in
which they were assigned.
At June Awards, AAMD will induct the final
12 inductees of the initial 50 AAMD Hall
of Fame members. This group has been
formulated by a process the past four years,
and includes an impressive list of people
who have and will continue to influence our
industry in a positive way.
AAMD will continue to reflect on the past
and celebrate
its 50th
anniversary for
the remainder
of 2018. The
celebration
will crescendo at the November 9 tributes
award event, and is sure to be a party like
no other! Tributes will include a brand new
format with elegant and high and culinary
food stations and drinks, then transition
into a separate ballroom for the awards
program, then conclude with the Golden
Anniversary After Party! Over 50 awards
will be presented to various talented
individuals and communities and suppliers
in our industry recognizing their individual
excellence and AAMD heads into year #51!
