Maid Brigade's 17th Annual Convention
ATLANTA-July 20, 2007-Not only was Maid Brigade's 17th annual convention a rousing success, it was the largest in the
history of the company. With 64 different franchises represented and 185 attendees, Maid Brigade went overboard to make
sure the convention offered something for everyone.
"At last year's convention we announced that we had embarked upon a mission to move Maid Brigade from a good company to
a great company. We are beginning the second year of what promises to be a multi-year march to greatness," explained Bart Puett,
president of Maid Brigade, Inc. "Our goal and mission has not and will not change. We intend to be the highest quality maid
service provider in the industry. We want Maid Brigade to be 'the standard for quality cleaning.'"
This year's convention, held in Long Beach, CA, was filled with announcements, workshops, presenters and unlimited
opportunities for franchisees to network with other franchisees. Puett continued, "Networking is one of the most,
if not the most, valuable aspects of the convention and this year was no exception as there were many new faces to meet.
On the announcement side, our MaidSmart software has now been fully field-tested and is operational in numerous
Maid Brigade sites with rapid deployment scheduled. We also completely redesigned our marketing materials
and launched a new website.
"Perhaps the most significant accomplishment this past year has been our march towards becoming green.
We have become an industry leader with our movement towards green and all the associated benefits including
healthier surroundings for our customers and employees, the ability to create brand distinction, a more efficient -
some people are reporting 5-10% faster - and better cleaning system and, most importantly, the positive overall
environmental impact," Puett emphasized.
Capping this year's convention were the annual award winners. Top honors for 2007 included:
Franchisee of the Year - Joe and Paula Thielen - Tigard, OR
Outstanding New Franchisee of the Year - Terry and Laura Carty - Spokane WA
Manager of the Year - Karen Longenecker (with George Denlinger's office in West Chester, PA)
Field Employee of the Year - Maria Mendez (with Claudia Wright and Carolyn Kennedy's office in Atlanta, GA)
Top Gun for 2007 - George Denlinger - West Chester, PA
"Without the hard work of all our franchisees, not just the award winners, we wouldn't be as successful as we are.
We have much work ahead of us as we march forward, but rest assured we will get there. We are looking forward to another
successful year and hope to see everyone next year in Puerto Rico," Puett concluded.
