🎉 That’s a Wrap on Employee Appreciation Week! 🎉

What a week! From good food and plenty of laughs to a little friendly competition, Employee Appreciation Week gave us a chance to celebrate the people who keep AHA moving every single day.

And speaking of moving… our Hot Stepper Challenge definitely brought out the competitive side! 👟🔥 Teams walked, strategized, talked a little trash 😂 and kept those steps coming all week long. More importantly, it was great seeing everyone have fun, encourage one another, and enjoy some friendly competition.

This week was also a great reminder of what can happen when Alexandria Housing Authority and Standard Enterprises, Inc. (SEI) work together. Our teams came together to plan activities, serve food, create some fun, and make sure our employees felt appreciated.

A very special THANK YOU to all of our sponsors and community partners who donated prizes, gift cards, food, and other items to help us celebrate our employees. Your generosity helped make this week extra special, and we truly appreciate your support of the people who serve our residents and our community. ❤️

Most of all, thank you to our employees. The work you do matters, and we hope this week reminded you just how much you are appreciated.

Great food. Great fun. Great people. And a whole lot of steps! 👟😂

Employee Appreciation Week 2026 is officially in the books! 🎉
