One Team, One Dream

On Wednesday, Over 250 of Flaherty & Collins Properties 450-plus employees descended upon the JW Marriott in Downtown Indianapolis for our 2016 Company Wide Event.

The theme – One Team, One Dream – could not have been more appropriate.

At F&C, we are everywhere, as our Development, Construction and Management teams not only work on building affordable and market rate multifamily housing across the country, but also work on building strong communities where we live, work and play.

This week was a chance for us to invest in building ourselves and uniting our team to celebrate, well, us. Our hard work and efforts, our accomplishments, and to come together under not just a slogan or mantra, but a goal.

After a wonderful introduction to the day by our President, Jerry Collins, we kicked off our day-long, jam packed event with an amazing session of self-reflection and motivation from our guest speaker, Anne Grady. Anne shared several powerful messages with our team and we learned a great deal about not only ourselves, but interacting with others.

After lunch and our lunchtime awards program – where we recognized winners in several construction and property management categories – we did a group event for charity, building 40 bikes that were donated later in the day to Boys & Girls Club organizations in Indianapolis and Noblesville, as well as Pathway on the Far East side of Indianapolis.

Next up, our teams went on a Scavenger Hunt around White River State Park in Downtown Indianapolis. Our teams worked together to accomplish finding specific items or points of interest in the guide book, and winners received an Olympic style medal – and perhaps most important – a paid vacation day!
