NEWH - Fall 2024 - 98

CHAPTER HIGHLIGHTS
Milano
The most significant event of the year for the chapter, the TopID Awards 2024, took place in March at the enchanting and culturally rich Spirit de Milan. The selected winners
stood out not only for their design excellence but also for their exemplary management approaches, which led the jury to identify them as the top three Italian projects for
this edition. These were Studio Apostoli with the project Casa Cipriani SPA in Milan; Studio Simone Micheli with the project Palazzo Gatto in Trapani; and NOA with the project
Olympic Spa Hotel in San Giovanni di Fassa.
During the evening, the three winning firms engaged in discussions with their clients in talks animated by three prominent industry media. The event opened with architect
Francesca Morini, senior project manager for Studio Apostoli, and engineer Fabrizio Longo, Constructor, in a conversation moderated by Anna Calvanese of Hotel Domani.
This was followed by architect Michele Pascucci, project leader of NOA for the Olympic Spa Hotel, and owner Matteo Torresani, in a discussion moderated by Claudio Moltani
of Guest. The evening concluded with architect Simone Micheli, founder and principal of Studio Micheli, and Fabrizio Doria, chief development officer of BWH Hotel Group
Italia, in a conversation moderated by Laura Verdi of We:ll magazine. The evening also saw great appreciation for the event's three sponsors-Marzotto Interiors, Loloey, and
Design&Business-as well as the initiative's supporters, AIPI, AREL, and FIABCI.

The chapter ended Black History Month in February with a bang, hosting its inaugural event aimed at celebrating Black history and culture while also serving as a membership
drive. Held at Mr. Braxton Bar & Kitchen, the attendees gathered to immerse themselves in the vibrant tapestry of Black culture. As the soft melodies of jazz filled the air, guests
were transported back in time, tracing the roots of hand dancing-a rhythmic expression born from the rich history of the Black community in DC. Led by membership director,
Nicole Lashae Ben, and EID director, Jessica Casiano, the event not only celebrated cultural heritage but also beckoned newcomers to join the ranks of the chapter's dynamic
community. Attendees were treated to an interactive dance class led by Kevin Fitzhugh, also known as Mr. Spins and Turns, unraveling the intricate steps and soulful beats that
define hand dancing. Partnering with local Black-owned businesses, NEWH DC curated a self-care themed basket, infusing the event with an extra touch of community spirit.
The event was a testament to the resilience and creativity of a diverse community. Attendees, moved by the experience, stepped outside their comfort zones to embrace the joy
of hand dancing, forging lasting connections. The Black History Month event not only celebrated the past but also laid the foundation for a future of unity and opportunity. As
the echoes of laughter and applause faded into the night, the chapter looked ahead with renewed vigor, eager to continue its mission of fostering diversity and excellence in the
hospitality industry.
