Servus Credit Union hosted their annual President’s Award of Excellence weekend event in Banff, Alberta at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel.
The President’s Award of Excellence is a prestigious award given to the top 1% of employees that work at Servus Credit Union. They are nominated and voted on based on their performance, and efforts made within the organization.
The main goal of this year’s event was to ensure guests felt accommodated, rested, inspired, recognized and appreciated.
Gift baskets, dropped in rooms prior to their arrival, were curated for all recipients encouraging relaxation and indulgence. The baskets featured lavender relaxing pillow spray, water bottles, sports packs, Sunday brunch vouchers, Sage pocket farmacy kits, wine and each guest’s favorite snacks to take on trips. Special message cards were set out in guests at the end of every night and on the morning of their departure.
The weekend included a choice of various activities such as golf, spa services, an ebike tour around the town or an ebike ride and hike. For those who took part in the ebike ride activities, the groups convened at a local brew pub for a tasting and food.
There was an opening reception on the first night at the Waldhaus Pub. Guests participated in a passport activity where they had to mingle with one another to determine which interesting fact belonged to who. The main gala and awards dinner on the second night.
The gala dinner was held in the recipients’ honor, which consisted of a champagne reception, a three-course dinner, a keynote speaker with book signing, and group photos. An award was placed out at each recipient’s place setting. The awards were curated for this event and were a beautiful, locally-made glass art piece.
