MBA Business Spotlight: Sandy Temple
This spotlight series is from The Midland Business Alliance.
The Midland Business Alliance is continuing their spotlight series, introducing the remarkable individuals behind Midland’s businesses. In this edition, they’re featuring Sandy Temple, the Residency Coordinator at Riverside Place in downtown Midland. With a background in marketing, sales, and hospitality—including running a bed and breakfast—Sandy has always had a passion for helping others. “I love working with people and making a difference in their lives. This role was a perfect fit for me,” she shares.
Riverside Place is more than just an independent senior living community for those 55 and older—it’s a place that fosters connection and care. “We’re not just an apartment building; we provide activities, daily meals, and nursing coordination. It’s a community where people truly care for one another,” Sandy explains. As a city-owned property, Riverside Place offers services that set it apart, creating a space where residents feel supported and engaged.
Sandy is especially proud of how the community came together during the 2020 flood. “Our community as a whole really rallied around us, both physically and financially, when our residents were displaced after the flood,” she reflects. For Sandy, working here is more than just a job—it’s about making a difference. “I get to work for the city I’ve grown to love, and Riverside embodies what I value most: family, friends, and community. There’s truly no place like it.”
