2014 MADACS AWARDS

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the Multi Housing Achievement in Design Advertising and Community Support Awards (MADACS) as my friend Marisa’s date – an affordable housing building that she is associated with was up for two awards.  The MADACS are the most prestigious awards recognizing superior contributions to Minnesota’s multi housing industry.

Winning both categories her building was nominated it.

Refections on the evening!

I wasn’t familiar with these awards so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but as it turned out I was quite impressed with the evening.  The program began with a delicious dinner, which was followed by the awards presentations.    Minnesota Multi Housing Association’s website tells us that the purpose of the awards “Is to recognize owners and associates who have made significant contribution to multi housing marketing and management through exemplary achievements.”  The importance of those recognitions were clear that evening

Perfect accessory for the evening from Brooks Brothers.

I had a great time and was impressed by how smoothly everything went and the timely manner in which it was executed.  It was a truly delightful evening, made even more wonderful when Marisa’s building won both of the awards it was nominated for.
