Kentucky Employees' Responses to "What is Your Favorite Blue Moment?"

"Definitely have a ton of great memories at Blue, but I think some of my favorites are the Louisville Healthcare office spring trips to Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky. It gives the folks in our office an opportunity to come together as more than just coworkers and celebrate one of the great Kentucky traditions of horse racing. There are always many laughs and memories created during these trips." - Nick F., Louisville, KY

"I love that our office takes the time to celebrate the hard work we do. Whether it's something small like a free lunch or a bigger event like an outing to Keeneland. We have such great people, and it's nice to spend time together when we're not always focused on work tasks." - Becca M., Louisville, KY

"I remember the fun times the most! Our firms’ post-tax season celebration, which brings the team together to relax and reflect on our collective efforts. After months of intense deadlines and long hours, it was refreshing to enjoy a casual event and trip to Keenland with colleagues. Events like these reinforce the strong sense of camaraderie and support within the firm. It’s not just about the numbers—we genuinely enjoy working together, and that makes even the busiest seasons feel manageable. These moments of connection and recognition have made my time here especially meaningful." - Nate Littles, Louisville, KY

"My favorite Blue moment is getting together with entire commercial tax team for our yearly internal tax conference. It's fun to catch up with other tax managers and staff and get feedback on our processes. It's great catching up after tax season." - Dustin Wells, Louisville, KY

"I suddenly developed a mysterious physical disability in 2019, and Blue has been absolutely amazing at working with me all along the way, including allowing me the time to pursue various specialists and potential treatments to see if I could even return to work at all. Since then, they have accommodated any new limitations, including caps on hours (even during tax season) which is critical! My favorite Blue moment isn’t a single moment, but rather every time my directors prove through their actions that it’s actually important to them that we take care of ourselves first." - Bobbie Arebalo, Lexington, KY

"While reflecting on my nearly six years with Blue & Co., many “favorite” moments come to mind. However, one recent moment sticks out to me. In March, during the one of the peaks in the tax busy season, a recently retired director, Kent Pleasants, passed away unexpectedly. To say that this shocked and saddened the Lexington office is an understatement.

Kent’s family hosted a celebration of life for him after a privately held funeral. It says a lot that several Blue Alumni and current staff members were in attendance. Not to mention the many, many members of the community that were in attendance. Kent was one of the reasons I joined the Lexington Blue team, having met him at a social event before I ever considered applying for a position.

We are responsive. We are caring. We are advocates. I was reminded of these tenets of our organization during those sad moments March. Blue is one of the best places to work!" - Keda T., Lexington, KY
