a message from the president...continued from page 12 Speaking of which, if you are in the habit of trying to catch people doing something wrong, I challenge you to expend an equal amount of energy catching people doing something right. There is a whole lot of right happening out there every single day and ample opportunity to notice it and express your gratitude. If you think it doesn’t matter, please think again. In addition to the favorable impact gratitude can have in a workplace, expressing it has a direct correlation to personal happiness as well as an individual’s ability to deal with trauma, stress or life’s unforeseen challenges. Gratitude alters your perspective, improves your outlook and sets a positive example for others, which conveniently fits into the Foundation’s core values. Mostly though, gratitude, and the positive mindset that it creates, is an essential element in becoming a workplace of choice. So, in that spirit, from the bottom of my grateful heart, I thank you in advance for your feedback and helping me catch people doing things right! No. 2 - Culture If you have heard me speak on this subject, you already know the high value I place on culture and the importance of firmly establishing Pelican Bay Foundation as a “workplace of choice.” This is especially important while navigating the unprecedented realities of today’s labor market, where attracting and retaining high quality team members has never been more challenging. We as members — both members of the community and members of the team — share the responsibility of creating and maintaining our culture, so please, do not ever underestimate the importance of your individual contribution. Welcoming, collaborative, positive and respectful; these are the words that define our values and shape the culture at Pelican Bay. Absent the intentional demonstration of behaviors aligning with these values, they are, alas, merely words on a page. I hope you will join me on this journey in bringing these values to life, further enhancing our already great culture and making Pelican Bay the very best it can be. We are brimming with optimism about the coming year: A fully operational South Beach, relaunching Sandbar, returning the Clam Pass building as a member amenity, the anticipated delivery of a world-class pickleball facility and continued critical discussion about near- and long-term plans for the community — all while further refining existing programs and services to increase satisfaction and drive value. Pelican Bay is an extraordinary community, and it’s about to get even better as we strive to elevate the member experience ... and take it to the Next Level. As always, my door is open to you, and I welcome your thoughtful feedback. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Pelican Bay Member Guide 2025 14 PelicanBay.org
