NEWH - September 2004 - (Page 3)

a letter from the President Now that the days of summer are just about over, it is time to focus on the exciting Fall/Winter slate of activities that NEWH has to offer! An extensive slate of events from October through January caps off another successful year for NEWH as well as positions us for an even more successful 2005. We begin with fun in the sun at the HD Boutique Expo in South Beach Miami in early October. While you are there, stop by the NEWH booth and the South Florida Chapter’s Bubble Bash fundraiser. November brings NEWH and the who’s who list of hospitality professionals to The Big Apple for the IH/M&R Show. During this exciting convention, NEWH has many events that offer opportunities for nation-wide networking. At the Gold-Key Awards Breakfast, NEWH, Inc. will award the first annual Icons of the Industry Scholarship Award. This year, we are privileged to honor in memoriam, a true icon in our industry, Thomas Durkin, Sr. As we announced in our last Magazine, Patricia Durkin has generously endowed this years’ scholarship and we are truly grateful for her support of the NEWH Mission to award scholarships to individuals pursuing careers in the hospitality industry. Numerous other networking opportunities are available during the show. The Greater New York Chapter is throwing their annual Party of the Year - co-hosted this year by IH/M&RS on Sunday. Shelby Williams and MMPI are hosting a cocktail reception on Monday at the A&D Building and invites ALL NEWH members to stop by. Don’t forget about visiting our NEWH trade show booth and meeting fellow members, prospective members and, of course, our professional staff. Jeanne Varney Host Marriott Corporation One more very important “Save the Date” event - our NEWH International Leadership Conference that will be held January 20-23, 2005 at the Embassy Suites Biltmore in Phoenix, AZ. We are strongly encouraging those in current leadership positions across all of our NEWH Chapters, those interested in assuming more of a leadership role or those just wishing to know more about NEWH and developing their own personal leadership skills to attend. Be on the lookout for conference registration information soon! Don’t hesitate to log on to our website www.newh.org and reference the Events section for more detailed information on the above events or programs in your area. Understanding the time demands from both a professional and personal perspective, I encourage all of us to take advantage of as many of these events as we can and look forward to seeing and meeting as many of you as I can. In the Spirit of Networking, Jeanne Varney December caps off the year with our biggest celebration yet. On December 4th, NEWH, in conjunction with our Los Angeles Founding Chapter, will be celebrating our 20th Anniversary at the NEWH Woman of the Year Awards, the Los Angeles Founding Chapter & Gala at the Regent Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills. In addition to awarding the 2004/2005 NEWH Woman of the Year honors, we will be celebrating 20 years of NEWH success. Past Woman of the Year recipients and members across the world will be in attendance, so don’t miss this exciting event! 3 http://www.newh.org http://www.newh.org
