Giving Back

Linda Thompson Memorial Scholarship

Annually, ADMEI administers an annual academic scholarship as a living tribute to Linda Thompson, who was a vital part of the Destination Management Company (DMC) profession. Terramar is proud supporter and committee member overseeing this scholarship.

This scholarship serves to honor the legacy of Linda Thompson, longtime co-owner of our Northern California office, who was an industry leader and absolute legend.

SEARCH Foundation

The SEARCH Foundation was formed in 1997 to assist event, meetings, and catering professionals faced with a life-threatening illness. Since that time, it has expanded to include not only illness, but also catastrophic occurrences.

After more than 25 years of assisting industry individuals in crisis, the foundation has funded 100% of qualified cases. Recipients were profoundly affected by the efforts of the board, committees, and supporters. Together, we have surpassed our goal of over $1,300,000 distributed to people in need.
