Showing the Love To Our Conference Sponsors


After a 2-year break, Milestone Management just completed the 2011 Management Conference held February 8th through 11th at the Westin Galleria Dallas. This year marked the highest participation level, for all sponsorship levels including Executive Platinum ($10,000 and above). Everyone at Milestone appreciates the contributions of our sponsors and we are continually looking for ways to increase the value of our conferences. This year we put the spotlight on our sponsors to truly communicate our appreciation for them!

To kick off our week, we treated our Sponsors to an “Appreciation Party” with "Sponsor Only" raffles that ranged from cash to e-readers. I must say it seemed almost unnatural for some suppliers to participate, as they kept trying to slip their tickets to Milestone associates! Throughout the evening, everyone had the option to accumulated “winnings” from the casino tables at the party. However, only the sponsors with the most money at the end of the night won the cash prizes. Janet Settle with Executive Platinum Sponsor Capture the Market said, "The supplier party was a wonderful surprise and the chance to win prizes made our night. It shows you guys care about who you do business with."

Milestone Management Awards 2011


Milestone Management held their 2011 Awards Ceremony at the Westin Galleria Dallas on February 10, 2011. The evening was beautifully appointed with flowers, gold and bronze lighting, and coordinating table linens. Attendees only added to the elegance in their evening cocktail attire. Guest warmed up for the evening at the Presidents Reception, where they enjoyed passed hors d’oeurves and cocktails, while listening to a hand selected playlist of seductive tunes. Ok, contemporary music may be a better way of saying it. Either way, every detail was tended to in order to create an evening to remember.

The venue and people looked great, but the M.A.S.T.E.R. awards presentation was why we were all there. This year Milestone added several awards to the presentation to highlight not only new comers to the organization, but also reward creative and consistent performers. All awards were presented by past Milestone winners in similar categories and each presenter was flawless!
