Employees gathered around the former executive conference room for a ribbon cutting dedicating the newly updated space in honor of our Chairman Emeritus, Michael Yanney.
In 1984, Michael Yanney laid the foundation for Burlington Capital (formerly America First Companies). Over the years, Mr. Yanney’s leadership guided our expansion into multifamily real estate and international agribusiness investments.
Throughout his career, Mr. Yanney’s leadership was characterized by his distinctive shorthand – a simple “Y” or “See me, Y” gracing internal memos. If you received a note with his trademark signature, you were most likely invited to the executive conference room to discuss a new business idea. In admiration of Mr. Yanney’s visionary leadership, The Y, formerly the executive conference room, was dedicated in his honor. To all that work here, the “Y” is more than just a meeting space.
