| FROM AWARDS TO PROMOTIONS, SEE WHAT YOUR FELLOW NEWH MEMBERS ARE UP TO

Remembering Stephano A. Delorenza
The industry lost one of its brightest stars in March with the sudden passing of Stephano A. Delorenza. He shined
as a program leader for the architecture and design team at IHG for more than eight years, in addition to his many
extracurricular activities in the art and design world.
At IHG, Delorenza led Design Immersion, an extensive two-day program designed to provide design and
construction professionals with a deep dive into the company's brands and processes. He took the program from
a small grassroots endeavor to an educational and networking experience that is best in class, and personally
touched more than 900 design professionals. He also spearheaded the a+d team's online presence, IHG Design
Connect, a one-stop-shop for hotel owners and designers would to successfully execute IHG brands.
Delorenza served on the NEWH international board of directors and presented at Leadership Conferences to
share his passion for hospitality. He also volunteered his time to the Atlanta Center for Creative Inquiry Summer
Academy to help high school students elevate their mindsets, and with the Hip Hop Architecture Camp at Georgia
Tech where he volunteered his time to help kids tap into their love of music to create inspirational music-based
architectural designs. Delorenza's life will serve as an aspirational blueprint for all who had the honor to meet him.
