As a dedicated family man, businessman, and philanthropist, Michael Broussard’s vision of success extends well beyond professional achievements. With a strong commitment to community, Michael has a new way to give back — by providing families in need a chance to reconnect through a stay at one of his vacation properties.
Michael owns and operates Broussard Properties, a short-term vacation rental management firm that’s shown him the power of family bonding during quality time away. Now, he’s inviting readers to nominate families for a complimentary stay at one of his properties, especially those in challenging circumstances. A community board will choose one deserving family each quarter in 2025, giving them a space to connect, find peace, and create precious memories.
"The ability to gather, no matter the circumstances, is critical for families to heal and move forward," Michael reflects. He hopes that this initiative will be a source of comfort, whether families are navigating difficult times or celebrating life’s milestones. “If someone has a child that is terminal and they want to spend time together,” he explains. “In other cases, it might be a celebration of life for a family member. It’s happening more and more — people are traveling to get that critical time together.”
Michael’s team is dedicated to creating a full experience for the selected families, from providing lodging to helping plan activities — entirely free of charge. His mission is to allow families to focus on what matters most: connecting, sharing, and finding joy in each other’s presence.
This initiative is close to Michael’s heart, as he treasures every moment with his own family. He and his wife Debbie, together for 31 years, especially look forward to holiday traditions, like their annual Christmas ski trip. Working alongside Debbie and their daughter Isabelle, Michael also feels incredibly grateful to be building a legacy with those he loves. “Every day, I get to wake up and be so excited about what I’m doing and where [the businesses are] going,” he shares. “It’s a really fun chapter.”
Beyond Broussard Properties, Michael has expanded his impact with the Broussard STR Investment Fund, focused on purchasing single-family vacation rentals and developing a resort. This venture enables him to uphold high hospitality standards and create meaningful investment opportunities that reinvest in the community.
With homes in both Utah and the Pacific Northwest, Michael is equally committed to his communities in each location. He serves as board president for the Shores at Stillwater near Park City and actively supports causes like the Nature Conservancy, protecting the beautiful landscapes that mean so much to him. “Being part of advocacy organizations like these helps our company portfolio serve the greater good,” he adds, motivated by a desire to give back.
Through his work, Michael offers more than lodging; he creates moments for families to heal, reconnect, and cherish time together. By sharing his values and resources, Michael hopes to inspire others, too, offering a space for families to rest, laugh, and be together.
