Our EE team swung into action last week and provided the American Family Insurance Championship with a variety of rentals utilized by golfers, media and spectators throughout University Ridge Golf Course.

Since 2016, this hallmark Madison event has raised more than $17 million for the Steve Stricker American Family Insurance Foundation, which has distributed 840+ grants to support charities, educational initiatives and organizations that build strong families and healthy kids.

It is truly our honor to assist with events that make this kind of a positive impact on our community.

Meet two more of our wonderful new Event Essentials team members — Hospitality Account Executive Melissa Parker and Accounting Assistant Laura Brimhall!

Melissa joins us with an extensive background in the wedding and hospitality industries. As a 17-year EE customer in her previous role, Melissa is excited to part of an organization that aligns with her values and dedication to customer service. Outside of the office, Melissa is a passionate baseball fan who cheers for the Milwaukee Brewers and travels the country visiting MLB stadiums with her husband — who has been to all but two stadiums.

Laura comes to our team with previous accounting experience and a knack for diving deep into numbers and trends. A history buff and outdoor enthusiast, Laura's dream vacation would be renting an RV and road-tripping throughout the United States, visiting and exploring as many national treasures and historical sites along the way.

We are thrilled to have you both on our team, Melissa and Laura!
