The Supernova Award represents the pinnacle of individual achievement in our community. This prestigious honor, determined through anonymous peer voting, is presented to the standout team member of the year by our Executive Team during the Senior Living Communities Annual Meeting Memory Gala. It’s a night dedicated to celebrating those who excel in their profession, fostering a culture of compassionate professionalism, positive leadership, and putting people first, always.

This year, we are proud to congratulate Mark Philip, Director of Dining Services, as the recipient of the 2025 Brightwater Supernova Award. In his role, Mark creates a unique, restaurant-style dining experience for our Members, ensuring they don’t just have to eat in our dining room, but truly love doing so. His leadership and supervision of the culinary team have elevated Brightwater’s dining program to be second to none. Mark’s dedication to the quality and variety of food offerings, as well as his strict adherence to local and state regulatory standards, is a testament to his professionalism and passion.

“What I love most about being the Director of Dining Services is being able to listen and respond. When Members ask for something, I do my best to make it happen. I may not be everything for everybody, but I give my all every single day.”
