Newport Hospitality Group Celebrates 20 Years of Excellence by Recognizing Star Performers
February 9, 2012
St. Simon Island, GA (February 09, 2011) – Our 2011 General Manager and Director of Sales Retreat, held at the King and Prince Resort on St. Simon Island culminated in an awards banquet where many of our Star Performers were recognized for their commitment to excellence in several categories. These managers and hotel teams have made great accomplishments through hard work, a passion for service and a focus on quality. They each know they are truly successful when they help others succeed. Each of these Star Performers insure that associates are properly trained, have opportunities to advance and know that they are appreciated.
“We attribute our long term success to the empowerment of our staff and the development of associates into leaders. Our guests leave our hotels not just as satisfied guests but loyal guests”, stated Michael Pleninger, President. “It is only fitting that we recognize the most significant contributions by the people who strive everyday to make a difference and succeed.”
A major facet of Newport Hospitality Group’s mission is to recognize and reward performance excellence. These awards are the result of an extensive assessment process that assures all those recognized have demonstrated a full commitment to excellence within our company.
