HALLKEEN OUTING

SEPTEMBER 18, 2026

EVENT DETAILS

At HallKeen, our greatest strength has always been our people. Every achievement, every milestone, and every community we serve is made possible by the dedication, expertise, and teamwork of our employees. Our Annual HallKeen Outing is an opportunity to celebrate those accomplishments, recognize outstanding performance, and thank the individuals who continue to move HallKeen forward.

This year, we're gathering at the iconic New Bedford Whaling Museum. Just as a whaling ship relies on a skilled crew and a steady anchor, our success is built on collaboration, commitment, and a shared purpose. Together, we've weathered challenges, embraced new opportunities, and continued to chart a course for growth.

The event will begin with a Welcome Reception, followed by a day of great food, engaging activities and meaningful opportunities to reconnect with colleagues from across our portfolio. Following the morning activities, we'll recognize employees and properties whose outstanding achievements exemplify HallKeen's commitment to excellence. 

Whether you've been with HallKeen for decades or are celebrating your first year with us, this event is about honoring the people behind our success. It's a chance to reflect on how far we've come, celebrate what we've accomplished together, and look ahead to the exciting journey still to come.

Thank you for everything you do to help HallKeen remain Anchored in Excellence.

 

We look forward to celebrating with you!

Now it's your turn to help us celebrate them.

We invite you to nominate the employees and properties you believe deserve recognition. When submitting a nomination, don't just tell us who deserves an award, tell us why.
