Saying Goodbye to Nemacolin in 2019, but Hello to the Chesapeake Bay in 2020! |
|
Sadly, we have now completed our two-year rotation at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort for the PACA Summer Summit. This year's event was filled with education, family fun, networking, a little friendly competition and just an overall good time! We will definitely miss this beautiful location, but look forward to new and exciting things to come in 2020.
Sunday evening, June 23, attendees came together on the rather hot, but picturesque rooftop of the Lodge at Nemacolin to visit with colleagues and their families as the 2019 Summer Summit officially opened. Conversations were flowing, PACA members' children were playing together, spouses were meeting and greeting - the foundation of the Summer Summit at its best!
Monday morning began with a rousing and thought-provoking presentation by Mr. Greg Coker revolving around leadership and mentoring your employees and colleagues to build their ultimate personal cathedral - a mighty metaphor for being the best that they can be. Following Greg, attendees had the chance to hear stirring accounts of the day that Pittsburgh and the Commonwealth will never forget - the horrific act of prejudice and terrorism at the Tree of Life Synagogue by Mr. Joshua Sayles.
Monday afternoon and evening was all about networking and that friendly competition mentioned earlier. Golfers teed off at Nemacolin's newest course - Shepard's Rock, while our sporting clays enthusiasts commented that the course at Nemacolin is one of the best they've seen. That evening, after a delicious picnic-style dinner, family members and industry friends came together for some bowling, ping pong and virtual reality sports on the Top Golf big screen. Also, that afternoon, several attendees toured the nearby Laurel Caverns, the deepest cave in the northeastern United States and the largest in volume and each person panned and took home their own bag of unique gemstones.
The following morning, our keynote speaker, Haydn Shaw, had people laughing at, but thinking about, the various generations within their companies and gave tips on all working together for the most productive and positive endgame.
The final day also included a few big announcements:
- A new addition to the 2020 Summer Summit agenda - PACA's GOT TALENT! Start thinking about your talent and how you are going to showcase it next year and watch for the announcements for the official opening of act submissions.
- The HUGE reveal of this year's Annual Meeting and Honors program coming to you November 18-19 at the Hotel Hershey. More information to come in the near future.
So, be sure to mark your calendar for all of these items because they are ALL meetings and events you don't want to miss!
