Community and Connection

Service Sanitation Joins Women’s Conference

This past weekend, several women from various departments within Service Sanitation swapped their regular desks for a trip Denver, jetting off to Satellite Industries’ Annual Women’s Conference—a can’t-miss gathering designed to spark inspiration, share wisdom, and build connections across our industry.

Workshops, Wisdom, & Laughs

For three energizing days, these trailblazers dove into lively keynotes, hands-on workshops, and—of course—plenty of laughs. The result? A weekend that fueled both ambition and spirits. Call it the ultimate mashup of career growth and personal recharge—with a Rocky Mountain view

Learning, Leading, & Laughing

This year’s conference was all about bold ideas, from “Unleash Your Curiosity” to “Empower, Elevate, Excel: Unleashing Women’s Leadership in Business.” Keynotes by Diana Kander and Erika Gilchrist didn’t just inspire—they lit a fire, urging everyone to question the status quo, break barriers, and lead with purpose.

Living Our Core Values

The conference was a powerful reminder of the Community and Empowerment at the heart of our brand. Inspired by incredible women from across the industry, our team came home energized, confident, and more connected than ever. Now, we’re channeling that spark into our daily routines.

It’s been a great few days spending time with my fellow leadership team. I truly enjoyed learning actionable items that can benefit my team, the company, and all areas of life. Stress management, active listening, and tools to limit burnout have been appreciated. Fun with the team is an added bonus.

Kari Crane, Billing Manager - Service Sanitation

As a first time attendee to the SWC I was not sure what to expect. It was definitely a nice, surprising,  filling and educational experience as I was able to listen and learn from all the wonderful women leaders that spoke and all the others I had the chance to meet during these days. One thing that stuck to me and I will apply to my work and personal life is that although we may all fall into certain “personality groups” We should not make assumptions, instead always look beyond that and get to know the Individual. I enjoyed all the fun activities and spending time with my co-workers!

Ivi Rodriguez, CSR Manager - Service Sanitation

SWC allowed us from SSI an opportunity to get together with other powerful women within our industry.  It gave us time to engage and interact with other women that shared our struggles and also celebrate our victories.  Just because we all don’t think the same don’t mean we aren’t a valuable part of the team.  Spending quality time with my fellows leaders was amazing.  “This world is uncontrollable but what I am able to control is myself.”

Dana Orkis, Dispatch Manager - Service Sanitation

SWC provided a great opportunity to connect with my co-workers and other woman in my industry.  Both the keynote speakers and the breakout speakers did a wonderful job and added valuable insight on many subjects.  Can’t wait to put what I have learned into action.  

Noelle Hopper, Branch Manager - Service Sanitation

SWC once again brought some of the strongest women I’ve met in the industry back together.  Its always a wonderful time getting to see one another in a welcoming, vulnerable state of mind ready to reset, recharge and rebuild.  The networking, fellowship and education we do along side one another along with our fellow teammates is amazing. Its always refreshing to come back to work feeling determined and ready to deliver all the things we learned to our teams.

Emily Conner, Vice President - Service Sanitation

SWC provided valuable personal development opportunities for myself and our team. We engaged in challenging discussions, shared ideas, and connected with other women leaders, leading to significant personal growth. The conference was highly valuable, equipping us to return to our teams as improved leaders.
