We are thrilled to welcome you once again to the stunning Secrets Cap Cana Resort for an unforgettable five-day getaway with your friends from STI, our valued manufacturer partners, and your successful peers in the green industry. Your hard work and dedication to STI products and services in 2023 and 2024 have earned you this well-deserved retreat, and we couldn’t think of a better venue to celebrate your achievements than the resort that left such a lasting impression on all of us two years ago.
This year, we are delighted to host a wonderful mix of guests—some of you are returning to relive the incredible experience of Secrets Cap Cana, while others are newly qualified and experiencing this remarkable trip for the very first time. Whether you’re back to enjoy familiar favorites or discovering the resort’s many delights anew, we are certain this journey will be memorable for all.
Prepare to indulge in the pristine beaches, luxurious resort amenities, exquisite dining, and unparalleled service that made Secrets Cap Cana a standout destination. Beyond relaxation, this trip offers you an exceptional opportunity to connect and network with top contractors from North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Take this time to unwind, reflect on your successes, and look forward to the opportunities ahead in the ever-evolving green industry.
We are excited to kick off our time together with the Annual Business Meeting on Sunday morning, January 19th at 8:30 a.m. providing you with insight into emerging opportunities in the green industry and allow you to engage directly with our key manufacturer partners. Everyone, including spouses, is encouraged to join this informative session.
The rest of your stay is yours to enjoy as you see fit! Whether you choose to explore the nearby attractions with the assistance of our Mann Travels representatives or simply relax at this incredible resort, we want your time here to be as enjoyable and rejuvenating as possible.
Our time together will culminate in the STI Annual Contractor’s Awards Banquet on Monday night, January 20th featuring the traditional slideshow and music presentation capturing the joy and camaraderie of this trip. It’s the perfect way to celebrate and reflect on the fantastic memories we’ll create together.
