Barrister Employees Rewarded with Hawaii Trip

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Hard work does pay off.  Just ask the five Barrister employees recently awarded for their extraordinary performance with a week-long, expenses-paid trip to Hawaii.

Barrister Owner and Chairman Vince Otte officially announced the winners of the much anticipated Annual Hawaii Sales Contest. 

Suite Managers Airley Ogilvie and Gerri Wulff, Area Manager Barbi Davis, Area Vice President Christine Nam and Assistant Vice President Jacqui White packed their swim suits and jetted off to enjoy a six-day, five-night stay on the island of Oahu.  The group dined on delicious food, went dolphin watching and enjoyed beautiful Hawaiian sunsets, among other activities.

Congratulations to those Barrister staffers for their outstanding work. Keep up the great work and good luck in 2010!

Smashing its fundraising goal of $5000 for the 2010 Revlon Run/Walk for Women, team Barrister raised $7500 thanks to the generous contributions of family, friends and colleagues. 

Team Barrister’s contribution will go towards supporting cutting-edge women’s cancers research, helping provide diagnostic treatment services for medically under-served women, and delivering psycho-social services and financial support to women with cancer and their families.

The sun was out in full blaze last Saturday morning as a Barrister team of 40 united to cover the 3.1 mile route and cross the finish line before Noon, receiving medals once they entered the Los Angeles Coliseum.

Team Captain, Jacqueline White commented on the tens of thousands that participated in the 17th annual event.

“There are so many people out there battling cancer right now and they really need all of this support,” White said. “Hopefully, the money raised can help end cancer completely.”

Congratulations to our outstanding team and supporters. We look forward to participating in more charity events in the future.

Team Barrister Readying for Revlon Run/Walk for Women

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Sporting its pink shirts, a Barrister team of 30 is setting out to support the fight against women’s cancers.

Barrister is taking the initiative to help raise awareness and funds for women’s cancer research. By participating in the 17th annual Revlon Run/Walk in Los Angeles on May 8th, our team is committed to working toward making the future cancer-free.

Assistant Vice President, Jacqueline White has participated in the event in past years.

“This is an excellent cause for Barrister to support,” White says. “Everyone knows a woman that has been affected by cancer.”

The annual 5K run/walk is held each year at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Approximately 45,000 men and women are expected to turn out for the event.
