Meet Linda Brown! Born and raised in Brunswick, Georgia, Linda has over 20 years of experience in the hotel industry. She started with NHG as a housekeeper in April 2021 for our Home2 Suites Brunswick and has held various positions since then, including Trainer and Inspector.

Linda's career began at Super 8 and worked her way up from an hourly wage of $3.50 per hour. Over the years, she has grown greatly, becoming an indispensable part of #TeamAwesome at the 'Wick.' Linda enjoys bonding with her sister during her free time while eating Lowcountry bowls and crabs.

Her favorite thing about her job is that it enables her to provide guests with the same level of comfort and orderliness that she does for her home. One impressive feat about Linda is that she has never missed a single day of work since joining NHG! Her favorite colors are purple and white – never forget the influence from Mom!

She values camaraderie among her colleagues, especially Team Awesome which she proudly participates in. General Manager James Westenskow praises Linda's hardworking nature and dependability: "Her ability to get things done makes her an invaluable part of our team - we are thankful for all she does!"

At Newport, we are grateful for the fantastic work of our team members! We celebrate successes and acknowledge milestones in recognition of their outstanding contributions. The Buzz section is a chance to welcome and celebrate newcomers while continuing to honor those who have made a difference within our organization.

This International Women's Day, Newport Hospitality Group celebrates the achievements of our remarkable female Vice Presidents. Throughout March, on our social media, you can follow their inspiring stories and the contributions they have made to our company and the hospitality industry. From breaking barriers to leading with creativity and passion, these women have had an impressive impact on Newport Hospitality Group – let's recognize their boldness today.

To stay organized with her social media posting, Heidi DeRise, Director of Sales at Homewood Suites Philadelphia - Great Valley, has devised an impressive system. Her first step is to download the monthly NHG Social Media Playbook, which offers all the necessary content to get started. Next, she dedicates a specific time to schedule her hotel's posts, where she copies and pastes the content, hashtags, and custom images provided in the Playbook. This streamlined approach ensures that Heidi creates engaging and timely content that drives customers to her hotel. If you want to stay organized with your social media postings, taking a cue from Heidi DeRise's plan could be wise.
