About Mekare Graves

With over eight years of experience in the hospitality and event sales industry, I am a passionate and dedicated professional who strives to deliver exceptional customer service and memorable experiences. As the Regional Event Sales Manager at Five Iron Golf, I am responsible for overseeing the sales and execution of corporate and social events at multiple locations, offering unique and innovative golf and entertainment options. I have a proven track record of exceeding sales goals, building strong relationships with clients and partners, and managing complex and diverse projects. I have also earned multiple certifications in food safety and alcohol service, demonstrating my commitment to quality and safety standards. Prior to joining Five Iron Golf, I was an Account Executive at HUNGRY, where I provided business catering and food solutions in the Washington-Metro Area, and a Sales Account Manager at Topgolf, where I drove the event sales and membership enrollment for one of the largest venues in the region. I have also gained valuable experience working with renowned brands such as The Walt Disney Company, Universal Orlando Resort, Sheraton, and Hilton. I am skilled in hospitality, guest services, time management, and communication, and I enjoy working in a fast-paced and dynamic environment. I am always eager to learn new skills and explore new opportunities!
