Revenue Retreat 2024

Get ready for our first full day together! We'll arrive at Rose Villa, an award-winning Life Plan Community in suburban Portland, where we will hear a presentation on the community and take a tour.

Over a festive lunch, get pumped up about the future of our team, presented by Dennis Gradillas, SVP of Revenue; Suzanne Nagel, VP of Marketing; and Nikole Jay, Post-Acute Occupancy Development Director.

Our friend and colleague, John Rogers, Director of Sales at The Terraces at Summitview, will moderate a panel conversation on building sales culture and PAL best practices.

Can we strengthen our teams by addressing our biases? What does true inclusion look like in our work environment? How can we improve both support and engagement with one another?

Experienced facilitator, trainer and coach of the ASPIRE Group, Diane Burbie will host this interactive workshop.

We will take a quick walk back to the Duniway Portland hotel. Enjoy a little over an hour of time to rest and relax before our dinner cruise later in the evening. 

We'll board the Portland Spirit on the Willamette River and sail along, taking in the dazzling city sights and lights! You'll enjoy drinks, a three-course meal, a caricaturist and the sights of Portland!

Board the bus no later than 8 a.m. as we head to Hillside, located south of Portland in McMinnville. Breakfast will be served on the bus.

How can we work together to create a highly productive environment? 

Expert sales leadership trainer and executive coach, Dennis Connelly will lead a session focusing on maintaining organizational health and fostering continuous improvement so we can enjoy even greater success together in 2024, 2025 and beyond!

Hear from Sarah Jolles, Senior Director of Brand Marketing; Karmen Hudson, Regional Sales Director; and Tim McDade, Regional Director of Buildings & Grounds, as they paint a picture of what it means to reimagine one of our newest HumanGood communities.

Break for lunch and for our PAL team, take five minutes to say "cheese" and have your headshot snapped by our own Loren Roberts, Marketing Specialist.

After hearing about what it means to reimagine Hillside in the morning, we'll kick off our afternoon by touring the beautiful 57-acre campus.

The tour will be hosted by Karmen Hudson, Regional Director of Sales; Stephanie Cook, Executive Director, Hillside; and Roberta Carlson, Director of Sales, Hillside.

Nikole Jay, Post-Acute Occupancy Development Director and special guests will deliver a high-level look at building business opportunities!

Google reviews are a crucial part of our digital marketing strategy. Demi Mallios, Senior Marketing Manager, and key presenters will explain why Google reviews are so important and how we can all contribute.

Can design thinking help us reimagine how we do business?

For our last session of the day, executive coach, author and speaker Diane Flynn, co-founder and CEO of Reboot Accel, will host an engaging session focused on business excellence and personal empowerment.

Depart Hillside on the bus to head to Stoller Family Estate winery! We'll enjoy bubbly on board to kick-start our third evening together.

We promised wine! At the Stoller Family Estate winery, located in the heart of the Willamette Valley, we'll step inside for a special wine experience and dinner.

Hear closing remarks from Dennis Gradillas, SVP of Revenue, and relive the memories of the past three days with a special video presented by Roberto San Luis, Art Director.

After a long day, we'll board the bus for a final time and head back to The Duniway Portland.
