The WC Smith Excellence Awards were given to 14 employees across seven categories, including recognition for community and property management, maintenance, leasing, community and corporate administration.
The company celebrated veteran employees for their longevity: Rex McKay, who has been with the company for 25 years, and Keri Jackson, who has been an employee for 20 years.
We also cited several employees for going above and beyond in helping colleagues and residents manage through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Eight WC Smith properties were recognized for their financial performance.
“Since 2002 we have taken time to honor the accomplishments of our property management colleagues. The pandemic once again interfered with our plans to gather in person for the awards program,” said WC Smith President John Ritz. “But the venue matters less than what we are celebrating. As with 2020, it is so important this year that we recognize the effort, caring and energy our property management team has shown in response to COVID.”
