Just back from: 2026 Performance Meeting
Jan 28, 2026
We recently had the opportunity to gather an esteemed group of our senior corporate and above property regional leaders at the bucolic Barnsley Resort in the North Georgia foothills of Adairsville, Georgia. Over the course of two days, our team members convened to share key learnings from 2025 as well as plans for 2026, a year poised for success through innovation, tenacity, and growth.
The team at Barnsley Resort welcomed us with wholehearted hospitality and we were fortunate to engage in the vast outdoor amenities to nurture deep connections, from a rousing pickleball competition on the new courts to teambuilding on the 18-hole Himalayas putting course, designed by Bergin Golf Design adjacent to the Fazio golf course. One of the culinary highlights was experiencing the newly debuted Jules restaurant, where we savored a seasonal journey inspired by travel, rustic Southern ingredients and the bold simplicity of wood-fired cooking.
Through strategic collaboration and alignment, we are excited to enact impactful initiatives this year that will create value for our owners, our team members, and guests. May 2026 be our best year ever!
