Hospitality Design - December 2023 - 56

the 2023 manfred steinfeld humanitarian award recipient
SHELIA LOHMILLER
CEO
NEWH, Inc.
Shawano, Wisconsin
In the 1980s, Los Angeles was one of the biggest hotbeds
of hospitality design, and it was during this time that
Shelia Lohmiller, who was born in the city, returned
from the Midwest to work in the booming industry.
Her compassionate nature had fi rst led her to a
nursing career, but it took an emotional toll. " I came
home every night with headaches. It weighed on me, "
she says. When she learned about a position at the
newly opened Falcon Products showroom in Chicago's
Merchandise Mart, she took a leap, bolstering her
sales career in commercial furniture with studies at
Harrington College of Design in Chicago.
Once back in LA, Lohmiller became the company's
fi rst female manager in 1983 before launching
the Lohmiller Group, an independent furniture
representation business, a year later. But 1984 was
signifi cant for another reason. That's when the late
Dorrit St. John, then president and partner at Purchase
Service Limited, told Lohmiller they needed to start
an organization dedicated to supporting women in the
hospitality design industry.
" She didn't use the words glass ceiling, but it was
about two inches off the fl oor for us at the time, " says
Lohmiller. Joining forces with Susan Spalding, then
at S. Harris, Lohmiller and St. John established the
founding chapter of the Network of Executive Women in
Hospitality (NEWH) in LA.
Some 1,000 industry talents, including visionaries
from around the country, att ended the second NEWH
gala. " They looked at what we were doing, and they
said they wanted this too and it snowballed, " Lohmiller
says, noting how that interest spawned NEWH, Inc., a
nonprofi t that now counts 28 chapters across the globe,
more than 6,200 members, and has awarded more
than $8.6 million in scholarships for students pursuing
hospitality careers. It's why she is receiving the Manfred
Steinfeld Humanitarian Award, given out to individuals
who look to bett er the industry through giving back.
Newly established chapters in Paris and Milan
signal NEWH's rising global appeal, and Lohmiller, who
lived in Europe for part of her early 20s, is thrilled with
the trajectory. " I see the world and people diff erently
because of that experience, " she says. hd
