This past January, Oakwynites from across the province came together to celebrate, connect, and set the tone for the year ahead at our highly anticipated Sales Kickoff. Hosted at the stunning Parq Vancouver Hotel & Casino, the event was a powerful reminder of the strength of our community and the momentum we continue to build together.
With the generous support of our sponsors, Oakridge Park, TD, Whitewall Agency, and REW this year’s kickoff delivered an elevated experience that blended inspiration, recognition, and a clear vision for what’s ahead.
A Look Back to Set the Tone
After a beautiful breakfast shared among Oakwynites, the morning officially began with a Year in Review, setting a reflective and energizing tone for the day ahead.
A key highlight was the company recap delivered by Arlene Chiang, who took the stage to walk the room through Oakwyn’s collective wins over the past year. From record-breaking achievements to meaningful community impact and continued growth across all regions, Arlene’s presentation was a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when we move together with intention. Her message grounded the room in pride while building excitement for what lies ahead.
A Theme To Look Towards
One of the most impactful moments of the event was the official theme reveal: Journey.
More than just a word, “Journey” reflects the path each of our agents is on—individually and collectively. It speaks to growth, resilience, evolution, and the understanding that success is not a single destination, but a continuous pursuit. The theme was brought to life through a powerful keynote that challenged everyone in the room to reflect on where they’ve been, where they are, and where they’re going.
Celebrating Excellence
A cornerstone of Sales Kickoff is recognizing the people who continue to raise the bar across our network. This year’s special award winners are a true reflection of the talent, drive, and culture within Oakwyn:
Rookie of the Year: Chad McKillop
Breakout Agent of the Year: Tyler Burrows
Oakwynite of the Year: Sid Koshul
More Than an Event
Sales Kickoff is more than just a day on the calendar—it’s a moment to pause, reflect, and realign as a company. It’s where energy is built, ideas are sparked, and connections are strengthened.
As we move forward into the year with the theme of Journey guiding us, there’s a shared sense of excitement about what’s possible. If this event was any indication, the road ahead is one filled with growth, innovation, and continued success.
Here’s to the journey.
