“IT’S THE PEOPLE”
A PPRECI ATING THE TE A M MEMBERS W HOSE H A RD WORK POW ERS SM A RT CIT Y At Smart City, we have great people who want to do well, who are capable of doing great things, and who come to work fired up to achieve them. It is because of the enthusiasm and dedication of our team members that Smart City is able to continue its success as a company. These individuals highlighted below are just some of the many Smart City team members whose hard work every day shows that it really is the people who make the difference. LONGEVITY: In the back of each Pinnacle, we publish a list of employment anniversaries to celebrate the longevity of our team members across the country. It is not uncommon to see Smart City employees celebrating 15, 20, or even 30 years with the company. Bob Sutton, our Director of Systems Development, recently celebrated his 40-year anniversary with Smart City. Bob is the brains behind our order processing and customer service database. He is responsible for many of the behind-the-scenes processes that we use in the field to operate on a daily basis and deliver quality event telecommunications and utilities services. The loyalty shown from employees like Bob is what powers Smart City and encourages other team members to strive to do their best every day.
VERSATILITY: To operate in the meetings and events industry, one often takes on the responsibilities of many roles. Tommie Beltz is no exception. A Customer Sales & Service Representative (CSSR) at our corporate office in Las Vegas, Tommie previously worked as an Event Coordinator with the Smart City Las Vegas Convention Center team. In addition to providing event assistance for the Customer Support Department, Tommie has traveled to Atlantic City to work as the acting General Manager for the Smart City Atlantic City Convention Center team. He also serves as the main point-of-contact for the Smart City Virginia Beach Convention Center team. He combines his hands-on experience from working in the field with his knowledge of customer support operations to assist multiple convention center clients at once. Tommie is just one of many employees within Smart City that understands the importance of “think fast, move fast” and going above and beyond to support customers.
COMMUNITY SERVICE-MINDED: At Smart City, we believe that with success comes the responsibility to give back to our communities. All year long, our team members participate in organizations that make the communities in which we live and operate better places to live. Whether it’s partnering with the Houston Habitat for Humanity to build a house in honor of Pope Francis, serving up food at the Van De Walle Fajita Corral, lacing up a pair of walking shoes for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, or planting trees and sorting recyclables to boost the convention center’s sustainability efforts, our team members across the country are always eager to show that “we care and give back.”
