NEWH - Winter 2018 - 42
Q&A
ONE-ON-ONE WITH
Jennifer
Delmas
How did you become involved in NEWH?
Having joined the hospitality industry after 11 years as a law firm administrator, I felt that
joining NEWH would be the best way to immerse myself in hospitality by surrounding myself
with industry professionals at all levels. At the time, the NEWH South Florida board was
looking to fill some positions so I thought, "What better way to learn about this amazing
industry then by diving right into THE Hospitality Industry Network?"
What has NEWH done for you, both personally and professionally?
NEWH has provided me with a network of people that are not only experts in their field,
but eager to assist in the NEWH mission of providing scholarship and education, as well as
leadership development and recognition of excellence. NEWH has shown me that when likeminded people band together, we can achieve any goal, and do it with finesse and creativity.
What do you have planned in your NEWH role for 2018/2019?
President of the South Florida
chapter and director of
operations, EoA
We are still looking forward to our biggest fundraiser of the year-our annual Golden Palm
Masquerade. During this event, we are able to recognize design excellence and award our
annual scholarships to deserving hospitality students. Since it is a masquerade theme, our
guests have a blast sporting some unique and eclectic masks for the evening. We are also
looking forward to the 2019 Leadership Conference in February as we are the host chapter.
Tell us a bit about your company and what's new. Any recent initiatives/new
launches?
EoA is a growing company, not only in size but also in reach-and especially in quality and
substance. We challenge ourselves daily to embrace our most current project as our most
important project. We are always looking for ways to better ourselves.
What is your business outlook for the next year or two?
We are busier than ever working on every facet of the hospitality industry. Hospitality is an
extremely sophisticated and discriminating field, and one that requires tight collaborations.
We have been fortunate to work with fantastic clients and partners. This has led to a steady
growth in our practice which, barring major economic curveballs, should continue.
When you aren't working or at an NEWH event, where can we find you?
Definitely look for me at the gym-EPIC Hybrid Training-or at the beach. I enjoy being able
to get a great workout in and then enjoy the beautiful natural beach ambiance that South
Florida has to offer. And of course, as a mother of two teenagers, you can find me trying to
keep them organized and entertained in their developing years! ❙❘❚
