“Dylan has become a true leader in the Shearwater community,” said vice president Jenna Perkins. “As a lifestyle director, he worked tirelessly to build awareness around community news and events and to develop relationships with and among the community. This award is much deserved and a great capstone to his time as a lifestyle director, as he settles into his new role.”

Airess’ biography in the gala program speaks to her commitment to CCMC’s vision, mission, purpose and commitment to lifestyle programming. “Creating memorable experiences, building the connections between neighbors and helping residents realize there is nowhere else they want to live, that is what it means to be the lifestyle director at Windsong Ranch,” it reads.

Airess joined CCMC in 2015 as lifestyle associate at Windsong Ranch; she was promoted to lifestyle director in November 2017. Her path to being a lifestyle director, however, may be different than most. As an educator for more than nine years, she served as the co-chair for school-sponsored events and an event committee member for local charities, such as Make-A-Wish.

She always had a desire to work in events, but it wasn’t until she moved into a neighborhood with lifestyle programming that her career goals and dreams changed. She learned firsthand how invaluable a lifestyle director can be in a homeowner’s life and made becoming a lifestyle director her career goal.

“We’re extremely proud of Airess for this much-deserved recognition,” said Central Division president Andy Babbitt. “Watching her live her dream and serve the residents of Windsong Ranch has been a pleasure. Her dedication to creating memorable experiences and building connections between residents is a testament to CCMC’s vision, mission and purpose and reinforces the value a strong lifestyle program adds to a community.”

In addition to Airess’ Gold Award win, Windsong Ranch also received Silver Awards for Best Lifestyle Annual Program and Master-Planned Community of the Year.
