Gold Mountain’s Team Member of the Quarter recognizes a team member who brings forward all of our values.
Enthusiasm, respect, creativity, honesty, sincerity, and accountability.
This team member is voted for by the entire team in all departments, and is recognized at our all staff quarterly meeting.
This quarter Denise Garza was voted to become Gold Mountain’s very first Team Member of the Quarter!
Denise’s outstanding qualities and contributions to not only Gold Mountain, but to Columbia Hospitality as a whole, have caught the attention of every team member that has the privilege of working beside her.
Denise started working at one of the Columbia Hospitality properties in 2006, McCormick Woods Golf Club.
At McCormick Woods Denise was the leader of the Snack Shop, lead dining room assistant, banquet server, and housekeeper.
Denise has always risen to any challenge with great enthusiasm and positivity.
In 2016, Denise was promoted to Snack Shop Supervisor at Gold Mountain Golf Club.
Denise has very successfully lead the beverage cart and Snack Shop teams.
She has helped broaden the inventory available in the Snack Shop and on the beverage carts, as well as helping create a new Snack Shop on the Olympic Course known as “The Den.”
The addition of The Den helped lead Gold Mountain to records in our food and beverage department.
Denise is also part of the dining room assistant team and banquet team at Gold Mountain.
Most recently, Denise has been asked to join a third Columbia Hospitality property, Kitsap Conference Center as a banquet server and concierge.
Denise has exhibited continued and unwavering professionalism, dedication, and sincerity throughout her time at Gold Mountain Golf Club.
Her calling is truly hospitality and we are extremely grateful to have Denise on our team.
Her leadership, honesty, and creativity are contagious among guests and team members alike.
I am so proud of Denise Garza and grateful to be a part of her continued growth and success.
