It is with great pride that we honor 21 Holladay associates who have reached service milestones in 2021.

Also in recognition of their service milestones, each associate was asked what working for Holladay has meant to them. Here are the answers they shared…

Twenty Five years ago John Phair took a chance on hiring me during our first phone call. I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into but something just felt right. John and the rest of the Holladay family embraced me and allowed me to find my place in the company. I am ever so grateful for John taking a chance with me and providing the opportunities I’ve been given.

A place of employment that sparks passion and dedication is not easy to find, but Holladay Properties has done just that. After these short 20 years, I still feel the same drive for success and improvement that I experienced day one. Holladay has encouraged and helped to expand my skillset not only professionally, but with my personal life as well.

Another gift Holladay has provided me is the relationships I’ve developed with colleagues. I have a second family that shows me support, encouragement, and compassion. I’m grateful for everything and look forward to the years to come.

– Cheryll Schroth, Operations Support Manager (Nashville, TN) – celebrating 20 years

When I started as a summer intern, 16 years ago, I could have never anticipated the joy and growth that a career with Holladay could provide.  15 years later, as I reflect on the many projects I have been part of, it is very gratifying and memorable.  I have learned and created incredible memories through many current and past Holladay associates.  As I visit projects we have developed, or as we discuss projects I have encountered over the years, they provide great memories.  Not only memories of the efforts around the projects themselves, but of the stages of my life, family, and great Holladay friendships.  I look forward to another 15 years!
