The Sweet Issue

Bittersweet

We'd like to take this opportunity to recognize and show our appreciation for Andy Simasek, who is retiring after an incredible 30 years with Newport Hospitality. Andy's impact on the company has been significant and far-reaching. >>Video

Sweet Throwbacks

I first met Andy 30 years ago as NHG was working through its first years as a company. Since those early days, Andy has been my guide and coach. He helped me learn the business, how to create great guest experiences and how to build strong teams.

Black History Month is significant in our culture here at Newport. This year we celebrate with activities promoting meaningful conversations between employees from different backgrounds and recognizing African Americans' crucial contributions throughout history. By actively engaging in these discussions, we can build a stronger sense of community amongst our team members and promote greater acceptance among colleagues with different backgrounds or beliefs. Be sure to listen to the videos published on our social media channels each Friday during February for meaningful dialogue to create an atmosphere where everyone feels valued, no matter their background!
