The Institute has had the recent pleasure of welcoming back Dr. Gary DeWood. He will be visiting faculty at all upcoming Essentials 2 course dates for the remainder of 2024 and through 2025. Additionally, Dr. DeWood will be teaming up with Pankey Faculty for the Mastery Series and Focus Series courses. We are ecstatic to have him back in the building with us!

THE INSTITUTE
Have you been missing The Institute lately? Many who know and love Pankey express a unique feeling of contentment upon crossing the causeway and entering the double doors on 1 Crandon Boulevard.
Luckily, you can now see the building from Master’s Hall to the One Club and beyond at pankey.org. Our new tour video will take you on a walkthrough of all your favorite corners of the Institute. There is nothing like being here in person, but this should hold you over until your next visit!
We have recently made some aesthetic improvements to our suites through the addition of hanging artwork. The images on the walls embody the spirit of Key Biscayne and the whole of South Florida. Through art, we hope to bring a piece of the region’s diverse wildlife and scenery into the Institute. The photographs were taken by Dr. Carl Treyz, a Pankey-educated dentist practicing in Pompano Beach, Florida. The Pankey Foundation expresses its sincerest gratitude to Dr. Treyz, Dr. Glenda Owen, and Mr. Kevin Dubose for supporting our efforts to improve this beautiful building that we call home.

EVENT RECAP
We had so much fun seeing so many members of the Pankey family off-site this past quarter. It is always a special treat to reconvene with alum outside of the Institute. In February, we gathered at the Four Seasons Chicago for our annual Chicago Midwinter reception. The turnout blew us away, and we are already counting down the days until next year’s reception.
At the end of March, we held our Essentials 1 course at the Hinman Meeting. The Pankey team successfully brought a little piece of Key Biscayne to a sold-out course in Atlanta, Georgia for the second year in a row!
