Stuart J. Gardner, president and owner of Florida Meeting Services, a Global DMC Partner with offices in Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, announced that his company recently received a 2015 Achievement Award for Best Creative Event — Best Teambuilding Activity at the ADMEI Awards Gala on February 14, 2015, at the Fiesta Americana Grand in Los Cabos, Mexico. The Association of Destination Management Executives International (ADMEI) is the global voice of the destination management industry and the premier resource for education, standards and practices within the DMC industry/profession.

Florida Meeting Services collaborated with Las Vegas-based R&D Events, a premier provider of teambuilding events. The winning event, the Virginia Key Restoration, took place in Virginia Key, Florida, which is an 863-acre barrier island located a few miles east of Miami. With a strong project plan in place, more than 170 corporate volunteers helped to revive and restore this unique ecosystem. They created butterfly gardens, removed invasive and exotic plant species, propagated native plants in Virginia Key’s native plant nursery, participated in a cleanup of the coastline, and planted native plants in the coastal hammock and dune areas. In addition, the volunteers’ efforts not only resulted in bringing new life to the environment but also opened up the area for student explorations and future educational platforms.
