John Goolsby of Godfather Films Receives the “Miss Dorothy Heart Award” for Passion and Excellence in the Wedding Industry

The wedding industry would be nothing without passion—both the passion of the wedding couples and the passion of wedding planners, consultants and vendors whose goals include making the wedding day a testament to love. Miss Dorothy Penner, MBC™, a long-time Association of Bridal Consultant (ABC) member from Louisville, Ky., knew and embodied this. She was also a firm believer in continuing education and the annual conference, which is why she established the Miss Dorothy Scholarship. The scholarship allows two ABC members to attend annual conference each year and covers registration fees and a stipend.

Penner passed away in 1998 and the Association of Bridal Consultants chose to honor her legacy with the Miss Dorothy Penner Heart Award for Passion and Excellence to the Wedding Industry. Started the year before her death, it is the only award the ABC bestows.

This is not a monetary award, but it is the most prestigious recognition that ABC presents each year at the ABC Annual Conference. John Goolsby was busy filming the event and was totally surprised when his name was announced as the recipient of this award in the Sandal’s Royal Bahamian Ballroom in Nassau, Bahamas at the 2019 ABC World of Weddings Conference.

Miss Dorothy said, “You have to have heart, and plan weddings with a passion so strong it becomes you. You must live, breathe, eat and sleep this industry.”

John currently serves as the ABC State Manager for California, Nevada and Hawaii.

Association of Club Catering & Event Professionals 2019 Conference at the Broadmoor – Colorado Springs

The 2019 Association of Club Catering Professionals National Conference in the gorgeous Rocky Mountains at The Broadmoor Resort in Colorado was a smashing success! We want to thank each and every one of our amazing Creative Partners for inspiring us each and every day to produce a conference that will inspire and thrill our attendees in return. We appreciate and are so very grateful for your engagement at the conference. A very heart-felt thank you!!

For those of you who were able to attend, I think you will agree that this one was truly special – from the Rocky Mountain Welcome Party at Cheyenne Lodge with Tomahawk throwing overlooking the gorgeous views, to the inspiring and tear-jerking dinner at the US Olympic Training Center where our attendees were treated to stories by the athletes of their journey to make it to the Olympics, a performance by the Men’s US Olympic Gymnastics Team (WOW!) and finally, an emotional, final surprise when we all got to pass the Olympic torch while the Olympic Anthem blared, from one attendee to the next until every single one had passed it all the way up to light the giant Olympic Cauldron! It was quite a moment! Our speakers were total rock stars this year and provided incredible education and interactive workshops. Our closing session culminated with the much-anticipated announcement of the 2020 National Conference location… (drumroll…) The Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica, CA! We will also spend one day in downtown Los Angeles at the amazing Jonathan Club! We are thrilled and so are the attendees! The conference would be nothing without our fabulous Sponsors, Creative Partners and Speakers – YOU make it amazing and the remarkable experience that it is and our attendees appreciated receiving the benefit of your sponsorship.
