On Thursday, November 19 Wilson Associates joined together the Dallas design community to celebrate its 20th annual Point of Excellence Awards Luncheon. What began as an award for excellent customer service given to a vendor in Trisha Wilson’s office over 20 years ago has grown into a thriving philanthropic luncheon attended by some of the industry’s most influential manufacturers.
The highly anticipated point of excellence award was given to Woodwright Hardwood Flooring Company and Melissa Nau of Shaw Hospitality. Before the award was presented, keynote speaker Chad Houser inspired the audience with his story of creating Café Momentum, one of Dallas’s best restaurants that is run and operated by the city’s most at-risk youth. He left the audience filled with passion to take their talents and use them to impact the local community. You can make a dinner reservation or catering request by visiting cafemomentum.org.
“This years luncheon was all about celebrating 20 years of commitment to design excellence and philanthropy,” said Olivier Chavy, President & CEO of Wilson Associates. “Many of our sponsors have supported The Wilson Foundation since the very beginning of the event. Most of the past award winners have also attended for 20 years. We are so grateful for everyone’s devotion and passion for this cause.”
Because 100% of the ticket sales and sponsorships go directly toward the luncheon, the design community collectively raised over $70,000 for The Wilson Foundation, whose mission is to change lives, one child at a time. The sum of donations wouldn’t have been possible without the event’s generous sponsors. Interior Design hosted a VIP pre-party on the rooftop of Dec on Dragon for Diamond Sponsors Smith-Brown and Purchasing Management International, Platinum Sponsors Hill & Associates, ID Collection and David Sutherland.
