The Giving Issue

It Starts With Us

We dedicated November’s issue to showcasing the importance of giving back to our local communities. As business leaders, we can launch initiatives that improve the lives of those where we live or work. The more socially responsible we are in our communities, the more positive outcomes we leave. Everyone yearns to be purposeful.

Conference Gifts

Wow! I am still exhausted and exhilarated after our recent Leadership Conference in Virginia Beach. This conference marked the first time since May 2019 that the NHG team was able to gather in one location. More importantly, it was the first time that many of our hotel leaders had met the Williamsburg team. It was WONDERFUL.

Volunteering or donating has a positive ripple effect for all—cheers to NHG’s 2021 Community Spirit Award Winners who demonstrated how to make a significant impact. Each hotel will receive a framed certificate + $500 for their charity of choice:
