This idea began as a KPC auction purchase for use of the Kirkland Performance Center (KPC) for an evening. After a few months of contemplating its best use, we decided to turn the theater into a party honoring those who support our efforts. As a result, over 150 vendors, trade contractors and associates attended our first Annual Vendor And Trade Awards Recognition (AVATAR) event hosted “in theatre” at the KPC (Facebook Album).
At the core of this event was a re-innovated corporate mission statement: “turning apprehension into advocacy through performance. TM” This is so critical because nearly every prospective customer is apprehensive about a spectrum of remodeling concerns. When we meet or exceed expectations, the potential is to create a long list of customer advocates.
Stage presentations included the re-innovation of TR and our thematic approach to Design/Build remodeling. Guests were pre-registered to receive a backstage pass with access to beer, wine, appetizers and a lasagna dinner weaved into a 2-part awards presentation on stage.
Mac MacDonald emceed the event with a cast of presenters including Chris Ballard of The Ballard Agency, Dan Davidson with Principal Financial, Carol Didier of Summit Accounting and Ryan Gaylord of Localloop.
2014 AVATAR Winners: Tenhulzen Painting (Safety Award), Rosemary Photography (Memorable Moment), Sterling Electric (Reliable Service), Ronda Webb (Creative Solution), Cary Longmire (Customer Service), Dunn Lumber (Vendor of the Year), and Riley & Sons Drywall (Trade Contractor of the Year).
