NEW WELCOME CENTER REINFORCES SANDESTIN
COMMITMENT TO OWNERS AND GUESTS
Since January 2014, the Sandestin Welcome Center has been
taking shape – and all the hard work is almost complete! The
newest asset to Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort will officially
open in December and will provide a multitude of services under
one roof for resort guests and Rental Owners. The $7.5 million,
40,000 square foot Welcome Center will serve as the primary
location for guest registration, but will also centralize resort
operations creating an efficient and convenient experience for
all.
“We are all looking forward to occupying our new facility as it will
serve as a billboard for the ‘new Sandestin,’” said Tom Becnel,
chairman of Sandestin Investments. “While a convenient focal
point for our guests and customers, it also serves as a symbol
of our commitment for smart growth and development while
enhancing the overall Sandestin experience.”
The three-story Sandestin Welcome Center was designed by
Piazza Design Architects and features a spacious, two-story
lobby area with majestic views of Choctawhatchee Bay and a
signature water fountain. Those entering the facility will also
notice the iconic Sandestin sand dollar imprinted on the lobby
floor, a symbol of our welcoming all to the picturesque Emerald
Coast. Guests will also enjoy the latest technology with dynamic
touch screen digital displays providing a unique orientation to the
2,400-acre Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
A spacious third floor “L” shaped balcony features a decorative
gazebo area with amazing views of the bay, marina and the Grand
Sandestin – a premier venue soon to be hailed as the best new
event location on the Emerald Coast for weddings, receptions,
parties, private gatherings, and more.
“We are extremely excited to open the new Welcome Center and
create an even better first impression of the resort for our guests
and Rental Owners,” said Mark Hodgdon, Senior Vice President
and General Manager of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. “We
are very proud of what this structure represents and we look
forward to welcoming everyone that passes through its doors.”
The new Sandestin Welcome Center is located on the northeast
corner of Highway 98 and Sandestin Boulevard, at the main
north gate entrance of the resort. While the facility will serve
as the main check-in point for Guest Registration, it will also
be the base for multiple resort departments under one roof
including: Accounting, Front Office, Human Resources, Rental
Owner Relations, Reservations, Retail, Sales and Marketing, and
Sandestin Real Estate (SRE).
Children's Healthcare Fundraising
Leadership Division Representatives have been supporting Children's Healthcare for
many years, raising nearly $450,000. The goal for this year is to raise $45,000 which will
go to the Strong4Life program. Each bank is asked to hold a fundraiser, purchase Big
Bucks Bonanza tickets or simply send a donation to CBA made payable to Children's
Healthcare. Please send your donation and Big Bucks Bonanza tickets to the CBA
office by June 1st.
It’s that time of year again…
Time to be thinking of who you
are going to nominate for
2015 Leadership Division
Representative of the Year.
Keep in mind the honoree is nominated by fellow Leadership
Division Representatives, and the judging is based on the
individual’s participation with PAC/PR golf tournaments,
Children’s Healthcare fundraising, scholarship challenge,
and enthusiasm in CBA and Leadership Division activities
and events.
Please take a moment to recognize an outstanding
individual who’s making a difference in Georgia. The winner
will be announced at the 37th Annual Leadership Division
Convention & Mini-Trade Show, June 12-15, 2015.
