 John Oppenheimer "Our clients and guests give us a reason to come to work each day. In our business, it’s all about the people, and we are indebted to each and every person who has visited one of the properties we’ve had the privilege to manage."  Bret Matteson "I am proud to be involved with the management of each of our unique properties as we continue to provide exceptional service and create raving fans at each location. The ultimate reward in what we do is helping our owners realize that the wonderful vision they have for their properties can be achieved and then exceeding their expectations again and again."  Shelley Tomberg "Working with an entrepreneurial owner and fantastically experienced colleagues has given me the support and freedom to grow in areas I never knew possible. Although we each have different areas of expertise, we all thrive off of creating amazing experiences for our guests, as well as creating out-of-the-box fun for our employees. Of course, a gratifying by-product of this is profit for our owners."  Lenny Zilz "The leadership at Columbia fully recognizes that we will create phenomenal experiences for our guests and results for our owners only by investing in the growth and development of our employees. We are very proud of the team of professionals we have working at our properties."  Paul Zumwalt "Hospitality is commonly defined as the relationship between a guest and a host; the reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers, with kindness and goodwill. At Columbia Hospitality that concept summarizes why and what we do." 
Julie Meschke "We have a group of tremendously passionate and talented employees. What makes us unique is the way that our values truly live and breathe at Columbia. We hold ourselves to the highest standards, and our values serve as a guide in the way that we make decisions, interact with one another, and all that we do."  Terri Fincham "It’s a pleasure and a privilege to work within an organization that so consistently looks to its values to create and maintain positive relationships with its owners, guests and employees: honesty; sincerity; respect; creativity; enthusiasm; accountability. This kind of corporate integrity makes coming to work a joy!" 
Jeff Sprague "Value in hospitality is created by continuously improving service, employee experience, and profit. At Columbia, we create a synergy across all functional areas to find the most effective and meaningful ways to provide this value." 
Brock Laing "It’s great to work for an organization that has such a proven commitment to Technology. When our first property Bell Harbor was built over 10 years ago, the vision was to create one of the most technologically sophisticated conference centers in the country. This vision continues today with a leadership team that understands the importance of technology in our industry and gives the support to deliver a great experience for our internal staff and guests." |
