Todd
Newberry wins award
Former Lincoln resident Todd Newberry, son of Larry
and Doodie Newberry of Sherman, is the recipient of the first MAXX
Properties Employee of the Year award. Newberry, the Arizona
Regional Manager of Maintenance Operations, oversees 2400 units and
forty-three employees at ten properties. He also assists other
company maintenance teams in Florida, Colorado, and Nevada.
This process began with Todd receiving the Employee
of the Quarter award. Nominated by Michelle Bravo-Brown, Florida
Regional Manager, she states: "Todd always gives my team 150%" and
"he makes us feel that we are the most important part of his job."
While in Florida, Todd worked nights and weekends, never complained
and was still working daily with his team back in Arizona."
Newberry received his award at the New York
corporate office. While there, MAXX Properties treated him to an all
expenses paid weekend and a Broadway show.
