Celebrating Our Q2 TrueU Graduates

At J.C. Hart, we take pride in investing in our Associates’ growth—both personally and professionally. This past quarter, we had the privilege of celebrating five outstanding team members who completed TrueU leadership development programs, taking meaningful steps on their leadership journeys.

Olivia Williams – REM, Legacy & East Bank

Malachi Johnson – Asset Manager

Jesse Emrich – Regional Maintenance Supervisor

Chris Williams – Regional Maintenance Supervisor

Kevin Kalinke – Regional Maintenance Supervisor

In May, Olivia Williams completed TrueU’s Emerging Leaders Program (ELP). Over three months and 42 hours of intensive leadership development, Olivia grew in self-awareness, authentic leadership, and learning how to effectively influence others—regardless of title. Her dedication to growth is inspiring, and we’re excited to see how she continues to put these skills into practice across our communities.

In June, Malachi Johnson, Jesse Emrich, Chris Williams, and Kevin Kalinke completed the Leader In Training (LIT) Program, a three-month, 42-hour experience focused on strengthening leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. Their hard work and dedication were recognized in a big way:

Team 6, featuring Malachi Johnson and Chris Williams, earned “Best Presentation of Class Concepts.”

Team 5, with Jesse Emrich and Kevin Kalinke, took home “Best Overall Capstone” for their final group project tackling a real-world leadership challenge.

Their achievements reflect their commitment to personal development and to setting a high standard for our team.

Programs like TrueU are more than professional development—they’re about building stronger teams, enhancing the service we provide to residents, and reinforcing our commitment to creating a workplace where every Associate has the opportunity to thrive.

Olivia, Malachi, Jesse, Chris, and Kevin have all demonstrated exceptional commitment to their growth and to J.C. Hart’s values. We’re excited to see how each of them continues to lead, inspire, and make an impact across our communities.
