Team-building in 2023: ebove & beyond takes on The Big Easy for anniversary celebration

With 20 years in business, ebove & beyond has grown from what was once a one-woman operation into a team of six working together from various locations across the country. But in all those years, the whole group had never met in person.

That all changed this spring with our team-building trip to New Orleans!

From local art (including pink elephants), to gardens, museums, the French Quarter and more, we took on the town in style. We even had a dinner meeting on the Mississippi, a first for all of us.

"I wanted the chance for us all to be together in the same room, to see each other in person instead of just on Zoom calls," said Founder/CEO Jennifer Ward. "When you work remotely and in a digital industry, it's important to keep the human element strong."

Jen holds her platinum record from ebove & beyond’s team commemorating the company’s 20th anniversary.

Will 20 more years go by before the next gathering? Unlikely. We had way too much fun singing in our Uber van and getting powdered sugar all over our faces during our beignet break to let that happen. We all agreed it would be the first of many more adventures to come.
