Intercontinental Hotels Group Dedicates a Week to 'Celebrate Service' With Participation From WashDCHotels & B. F. Saul Company
BETHESDA, Md., July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2010, Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) and the IHG Owner's Association (the IAHI) are inaugurating a new initiative, Celebrate Service, to recognize all their team members across the world for all their hard work. The week-long, worldwide celebration starts today, Monday, July 26 and runs through Friday, July 30. There is no corporate mandate on how individual hotels should bring Celebrate Service to life, for one of the objectives was to make this program as organic and accessible as possible. Festivities will range from things as simple as hotel owners walking the property giving out hugs and handshakes, to events as elaborate as a hotel-wide cookout. The purpose is simply that IHG is dedicating the entire week to highlighting and thanking their team members
Mark Carrier, IAHI Chairman and Senior VP of B. F. Saul Company Hotel Division, a DC based hotel ownership and management group, states, "This week was created to recognize and thank all the folks that bring our brands to life, satisfy our guests, and demonstrate countless acts of skill, grace and kindness every day. These employees, our employees, are our biggest asset and our biggest competitive edge, if they are trained, led and encouraged."
WashDCHotels is participating in this initiative as they have six hotels in the DC Metro Area that are a part of the IHG family! Several events will be held over the course of the week throughout the DC region to celebrate WashDCHotels' team members and everything they do to create great hotels where people want to stay. Such events include a "Managers do your job for a day" raffle, Movie & Popcorn Party for all Team Members and their children, and corporate team members cooking breakfast for the staff.
One WashDCHotels' General Manager, Melvin Nichols of the Holiday Inn Gaithersburg hotel, states, "We are very proud of our team here at the Holiday Inn Gaithersburg and realize that our team members are the key to our success! I am looking forward to an exciting week of fun events and personally thanking each team member for their contributions."
In addition to the Holiday Inn Gaithersburg, WashDCHotels.com also has the Holiday Inn National Airport hotel in Crystal City; the Crowne Plaza hotel in Arlington, VA near National Airport; the Crowne Plaza Tysons Corner hotel; a Holiday Inn Express hotel in Herndon, VA; and the Holiday Inn Dulles Airport hotel in Sterling, VA.
Along with these six hotels in the DC Metro Area, B. F. Saul Company also has a Crowne Plaza hotel in Auburn Hills, Michigan that will be participating as well!
