RICHMOND, VA (February 22, 2010) – Our 2010 General Manager and Director of Sales Retreat, held at the Marriott in downtown Richmond, culminated in an awards banquet where the best of the best were recognized for their commitment to excellence in several categories. These managers and hotel teams have made great accomplishments through hard work, a passion for service and dedication to providing a positive working environment for their associates.
“Given all the bad news in the industry, we are delighted to see evidence of tremendous progress in the face of a poor economy. All of the credit however, goes to the tireless efforts of the teams at our individual hotels and their leaders”, stated Michael Pleninger, President. “It is only fitting that we should recognize the most significant contributions by our people who tried to make a difference, and succeeded.”
A major facet of Newport Hospitality Group’s mission is to recognize and reward performance excellence. These awards are the culmination of an extensive assessment process that assures all those recognized have demonstrated a full commitment to excellence within our company.
