Meet Our Team: Kameko Higa, Conference Service Manager

Q: How do you define being successful?

A: I define being successful as continuously striving to improve myself.  Success is when our clients are pleased and our team achieves the client's vision for their conference.

Q: What quote is your go-to motivator?

A: Be optimistic, it feels better.

Q: Fill in the blanks:

Always, always, always... Look at the micro- and the macro-view of any large undertaking.

Never, never, never... Assume.

Q: How did you get into this business?

I was lucky enough to come to The Banff Centre in my youth for music programs, and learned to love this place as an artist/musician.  My summer work during university brought me back to Banff and I learned to love this town and being out in nature.  When I saw an opportunity to work at The Banff Centre and contribute to giving other people the same great experiences I had, I couldn't resist applying.

Q: Rule of thumb for:

Meetings: Always look at both the big picture and the fine details.

Travel: Never assume.

Q: What is your number one suggestion to do, eat or see while at The Banff Centre?

A: Spend some of your time outdoors to enjoy nature and the surrounding scenery.  And you should definitely try Three Ravens Restaurant at least once.
