(Boston) More than 100 MaidPro team members from around the United States met in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to celebrate success, share knowledge and soak up the sun during the 2007 MaidPro Convention, held August 17-19.

Owners and managers from 48 MaidPro offices joined representatives from the home office for three days of workshops, roundtable discussions and presentations. The franchisor also introduced its newly elected Franchise Advisory Board.

Saturday night’s celebration dinner included presentation of awards for business growth, customer satisfaction, marketing and sales. Brent Ashley, owner of the Maple Grove, Minn. office, was given the Freshman Award for outstanding new franchise owner, and Jodee Brown, manager of the Lee’s Summit, Mo. office, was recognized with the Right-hand Award for excellence in office management.

“I wouldn’t miss this for the world,” said Greg Ford, owner of MaidPro offices in Lee’s Summit, Mo. and Tulsa. “It’s great to have everyone come together as one community to re-charge our batteries.”

MaidPro’s president, Richard Sparacio, noted that this was MaidPro’s largest convention ever. “We’ve tripled in size in the number of offices in the last four years, but the MaidPro culture has not changed. Our franchise owners are committed entrepreneurs who chose MaidPro for its strong owner community. They take pride in their own, and their fellow owners’, successes.”
