Melissa Johnson and Holly Ponsell are May’s Positive People

As a family-owned business, Hodnett Cooper takes pride in celebrating the individuals who contribute to our success every day. Our founder, Roy Hodnett, continually emphasizes the importance of a positive attitude.

Every month this year, Hodnett Cooper Real Estate will be presenting the “Roy Hodnett Positive Person Award” to one team member in the Brunswick office and one team member in the St. Simons Island office. The award can be given for any number of reasons that fall under the “positive person” umbrella. For example: helping a fellow employee with a difficult situation, participating in a charitable event, rescuing a dog, covering the front desk for a sick employee or taking food to a family in need. The award winner is the person that never says “no” when someone needs assistance, or the person that always makes you smile. The award recipient chooses the next month’s recipient based on those criteria.

Last month’s recipients, Carly Oxenrider, of our Brunswick office, and Emily Holcomb, of our St. Simons Island office, nominated and awarded the recipients for May:

Melissa Johnson – as Carly describes, “I chose Melissa because every day, no matter how busy she is, I am always greeted by her smiling face at the front desk. She remains positive, even when things are not going well, or as expected. Melissa consistently exceeds expectations,” said Carly.

Holly Ponsell –Emily Holcomb passed the award to Holly Ponsell for her leadership and astute business skills. “Holly is a great businesswoman, and is always helpful in coaching and training our newer agents,” said Emily.

All of us at Hodnett Cooper thank and congratulate both Melissa and Holly!
