The Dream Issue

Dare to Dream

If you believe it, you can achieve it. How does a rancher in Texas and a hotelier in West Virginia form an award-winning hospitality management company in 32 years? For Newport Hospitality Group, it is traced back to genius business developers who dared to dream.

Chase Your Dreams

Sometime between thirteen and 30, we tend to lose our personal dreams. We get caught up with the reality of mortgage payments, children, and life demands. While these challenges are real, so are our dreams. Life is like email, it does not slow down, but we must take control and prioritize our future. We must define and chase our own dreams. So, what does that look like?

Chase your dreams in 2023 with Newport's launch of LEAP – Learn, Engage, Aspire and Perform (LEAP), a program to recognize those team members desiring to "grow" in hospitality. You will learn more in Lizz's article and the upcoming month. Start the new year on the brighter side with the rest of the dream scene articles. The Buzz celebrates those who dared to dream and lived that moment when the universe rewarded them.

“Newport feels that listening to our team members is essential to growing our company culture and championing retention and satisfaction. We have found that with these surveys, we can get to the source of potential issues by hearing directly from our teams. Our team members must know they have a voice.” — Lizz Chambers, Vice President of Team Member Engagement. As a special thank you for participating in our Team Member Engagement Survey, participants were entered into two separate drawings to win $500 visa gift cards. There was one drawing for General Managers who had 100% hotel participation and another for every team member who participated. Additionally, there were separate drawings at each hotel for the team members at those hotels to win different $100 visa gift cards.
