GREENFOLDER STORIES
What sets Baltimore Country Club apart from other country clubs? Our people! Our staff members take every step to go above and beyond to accomplish our Simple Truth: Great People Make Favorite Places. Often, there are easy ways to make a positive impression on our members from saying happy birthday to congratulations on an award. However, not being afraid to make the big gestures is what distinguishes us.
How can you participate in our Simple Truth? Help gather Member-able Moments by connecting to our membership on a personal level. Ask about their likes, desires, interests, and hobbies. Finding common ground helps build a connection and foundation to create a relationship.
Act on any ideas for how to create a positive impact on a member, guest, vendor, or fellow staff member! Every impact, regardless of size, is essential to the Simple Truth. Anything from a simple card to a grand care package helps to further our Truth. If you need assistance creating a grand gesture, contact Director of Member Experience Abby Michael at mmichael@bcc1898.com.
Lastly, we love sharing these stories of the Simple Truth! Submit your Simple Truth experience by filling out the Green Folder Stories form, located at the bottom of the Park & Farms email, in Park & Farms, the staff webpage, or scan the QR codes in the staff breakrooms. BCC encourages all members to submit their own or fellow staff members' Green Folder Stories.
STAFF MEMBER OF THE MONTH
FEBRUARY: Charles Campbell, Van Driver
Charles always comes to work with a smile and a good attitude that rubs off on everyone around him. His favorite saying is “You have to love what you do and want to love what you’re doing.” He is a high-spirited, hardworking individual that is always willing to help in any way possible. These past months, Charles has stepped up and offered to help the Welcome House to ensure that there is always someone to welcome our members and staff when entering the Club. On top of being an unbelievable team player, his ability to create genuine relationships with everyone he meets is second to none. Charles is an outstanding individual, and we are honored to have him as part of the BCC team.
