We came. We saw. We conquered. Check out the travel tips (and photos) from our team-building trip to northern Michigan to see the “Best Island in the Continental U.S.” according to Travel & Leisure.
We take team building seriously.
Like sharing-a-bus-for-four-hours seriously.
Like spending-two-days-straight-together seriously.
After two years of socially distanced working, the team was overdue for some quality time together in a more relaxed setting.
“We do offsite team building because first it provides time to de-stress and get to know your teammates in a different way,” said Interrupt CEO Bill Rossiter. “And I believe that stronger working relationships not only drive a better culture, but also create a stronger environment for debate and innovative thinking. Most importantly, I just love hanging with this group of people.”
For our most recent outing, we headed north to Mackinac Island, land of horse-drawn carriages, sip ‘n sail cruise ships and fudge that sticks to the roof of your mouth.
Here are some of our favorite highlights from our trip. If you're looking for a getaway destination for yourself or your team, we highly recommend it.

As part of our celebration of Women in Construction Week and Women's Month, we sit down with Bethany Sanker, Interrupt’s director of client services, to learn more about how her experiences as a female leader have shaped her career. She shares how she handled the speed bumps, and her perspective on the benefits of recruiting more diverse teams in the building and construction industries, in this Q&A.
When Stephanie Gries was diagnosed with breast cancer, she found comfort in a familiar place: her career. She became the researcher and analyst of her own experience, hunting for the most useful information with a determination to make the right decisions—even if they were uncomfortable. The same advice she gives clients everyday was now guiding her through one of the most challenging journeys of her life.
Staying connected with the people around us is rooted in acts of doing good. Of reaching out. Of giving back. It’s one of the reasons Interrupt prioritizes donating time and goods to local organizations, as a group and as individuals. Hear from the team about why the office giveback is so much more than a seasonal commitment.
