Cedar Fair Entertainment Company’s Post

Jill Emery might be the “Energizer bunny” of Michigan’s Adventure. Spend a few minutes with any of her colleagues and one of the first things they talk about is the boundless energy and enthusiasm she brings to her job as manager of admissions and guest experience.  “She really inspires happiness,” says Camille Jourden-Mark, park vice president and general manager. “Jill makes whoever she is working with feel like there is no one more important than they are at that moment. Havoc could be breaking out and Jill is right in the middle of it to assure guests that it’s going to be the best day possible.” That commitment to making people happy – whether by staying at the park well after closing time to retrieve a lost item for a guest, or giving heartfelt hugs and sending handwritten thank-you notes to her team members at the end of the season – earned Emery a 2024 Cedar Fair Soul Award. Now in its third year, the Soul Award is the highest achievement presented to associates. For Emery, who has held a variety of jobs at Michigan’s Adventure over the past 10 years, it’s a labor of love. “To me, it’s about giving your heart to what you do. It’s about showing up. It’s about giving your all. It’s caring about your guests and the people you work with. We’re a small park and we all have to work really hard and pull for each other. And that shows in everything we do,” she said. Congratulations Jill! https://lnkd.in/gnDnC8-j
