NEWH - Summer 2022 - 4

A MESSAGE FROM THE NEWH, INC. PRESIDENT
H
ello Summertime!
We welcome in this time of year always, but this year even more exciting is a summer of warmth and hugs together in the
same room.
We are still reveling in the success of our NEWH Leadership Conference in Seattle this year as we reached full conference
capacity. Each of these events has surpassed the previous and that is thanks to the dedicated Leadership Conference committee
for bringing us the industry's leading content. The execution by our own NEWH, Inc. staff as well as the volunteers on the LC
Committee we salute for their countless hours and patience in pulling off these conferences while continuing their day job. Thank
you to the 600-plus who attended this year-we appreciate each of you! The Seattle chapter stepped up
to share the city, planning six different options for excursions on Saturday that were sold out, so a seventh
tour was added to facilitate the overwhelming demand! All of the tours were thoroughly enjoyable to
explore all Seattle has to offer with fellow NEWH members from 29 chapters and regional groups around
the world. Read about more event highlights on page 30.

This year at the Leadership Conference we inducted 12 new members into the NEWH College of Fellows
as we recognized their commitment and dedication to NEWH over the years. Each of these members has
shown unquestionable ethical conduct and professionalism in their own careers and efforts on behalf
of NEWH. Our Fellows have shared their leadership skills as well as mentored individuals to help in the
continued success of NEWH. See the full list in the Conference Roundup on page 28.
The honor of the 2022 Pinnacle Award is bestowed to Michelle Finn who has been an NEWH member for
31 years and who has contributed extraordinary time and effort to NEWH. In that time, Michelle has been a
true partner with NEWH from the early years of our inception to empower women in the industry. Michelle's
reputation and connections in the industry are a standalone legacy.
The 2024 NEWH Leadership Conference will be held in Memphis, Tennessee, hosted by our Mid-South
Regional Group. Do hope you will put it on your calendar and in your chapter budgets to plan for your chapter and regional group
to be represented! The Leadership Conference is not just for board members but is enriching and educational for anyone who is
part of the hospitality community. Even Elvis is considering attending!
This year the NEWH Regional Tradeshows are back to full speed ahead with our NEWH, Inc. team working their magic to bring
these soldout tradeshows to a hungry hospitality industry. Upcoming shows are Denver on June 2nd, Atlanta on Sept 29th,
Orlando on October 18th, and South Florida on October 20th. We hope to see you there!
As the hospitality industry rebounds, I remind you to take a moment to appreciate staying connected through NEWH these
past years. When life handed us some lemons, we made juice and remained positive as we continued to move forward together
adapting to online engagement to stay connected to our industry. A very special salute to our Corporate Partners who remain
committed to the value that NEWH brings in our industry and that is thanks to our members. We share great gratitude to each of
you who support NEWH and give of your personal time for events-supporting the future of our industry through scholarships
and networking and all giving back to the industry we thrive in. We look forward to seeing you in person at your chapter or
regional group events as we all move forward together. We might even squeeze in a Zoom event along the way for old time's sake!
Sincerely,
Chris Tucker
NEWH, Inc. International President
