JW Indy is Happy To Announce Promotions and New Hires!

Wednesday, December 7, 2011 Posted by jwindyadmin in News from JW Indy

JW Indy is always looking for the best and brightest to join our team. We’re very excited to announce several promotions and new hires within our dedicated sales group.

Cory Chambers, previously Director of Sales & Marketing, has been promoted to a new position within White Lodging. Now assuming the role of Corporate Director of Sales & Marketing, Full Service, Cory will oversee sales and marketing efforts for a portfolio of full-service hotels in locations throughout North America. Replacing Cory as Director of Sales & Marketing for the JW Indy is Anne Dunlavy, our former Director of Group Sales and part of the hotel’s pre-opening team.

JW Indy is also happy to welcome four new members to our sales team. Damon Bell will join our team as Director of Group Sales, replacing Anne. After starting his hospitality career at the Omni Severin here in Indianapolis, Damon mostly recently was the Director of Sales & Marketing at the Renaissance Boulder Flatiron Hotel. He’s excited to return to his home state of Indiana after 11 years away, and we’re happy to have him on our team.

Joining JW Marriott Indianapolis as the Director of Catering Sales is Katie Ferreira. A graduate of Johnston & Wales University—North Miami with a degree in Culinary Arts, Katie held several positions with Starwood before joining White Lodging in 2010. Before joining the JW Marriott, Katie served as Director of Catering Sales at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown.

We are also pleased to announce the promotion of Beth Piatt to Senior Account Executive Affinity Market. Beth’s career in hospitality started with Marriott International in South Bend, Indiana where she worked at the front desk while attending the University of Notre Dame. Beth joined White Lodging in 2003 and was a member of the JW Indy’s pre-opening sales team where she had immediate impact in the mid-market accounts.

Last but certainly not least, Mary Blalock joins our team as a Senior Sales Manager. She will be handling the mid-market of 76-300 peak rooms for all markets east of the Mississippi River (except Indiana). Mary started her career with White Lodging as an Event Management Assistant at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, then spent several years with Kahn’s Catering as Catering Sales Manager. She rejoined White Lodging in 2007, and we’re happy to have her back with us.

Congratulations to everyone, and keep up the good work!

Undertaking Eco-Friendly Efforts at the JW Indy

Tuesday, November 29, 2011 Posted by jwindyadmin in Marriott International, News from JW Indy

As a member property of Marriott Hotels and Resorts, the JW Marriott Indianapolis takes pride in adhering to the company’s Corporate Commitment to Sustainability. To honor our commitment to environmental sustainability, we undertook The Green Griffin Initiative and, in the process, saved enough timber resources to produce more than 747 million sheets of newspaper!

Our staff took it upon themselves to be energy conscious and eco-friendly for the good of our guests, community and the world by forming a Green Team, responsible for enacting onsite environmental initiatives. We installed recycling receptacles in various places throughout the property for use by guests and staff, ensuring cardboard, refuse and batteries are recycled. We donated extra soap from guestrooms to “Clean the World,” and donated left over toilet paper rolls to local charities. Our employees now exclusively use reusable mugs and tumblers instead of disposable cups, and Green Bucks serve as an incentive for staff to “be seen being green.”

View our Green Team video to see how we Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!

The Green Griffin Initiative by the Numbers:

  • Recycled 3,550 tons of cardboard and paper
  • Conserved 60,300 mature trees worth of packaging and raw materials
  • Donated enough soap for 119 children to use for one month
  • Increased recycling-to-trash ratio by more than 20 percent since April
  • Saved enough timber resources to produce more than 747,117,000 sheets of newspaper

JW Indy is part of the Marriott Place Indianapolis development in Downtown Indy, a group of hotels created with a focus on environmental sustainability. The Marriott Place development incorporated green and locally sourced building materials, using parts of existing structures and recycled pieces of demolished buildings, eco-friendly paints and heat-reducing roofing membrane.

Whether you are looking for a destination for an eco-friendly vacation or planning a green meeting, JW Indy fits the bill!

The JW Indy Partners With Back on My Feet to Connect With the Community

Tuesday, November 22, 2011 Posted by jwindyadmin in JW Indy Partners

The JW Marriott Indianapolis is teaming up with Back On My Feet to boost employment and fight homelessness in the Indianapolis community. Three of our current employees found their way to the JW Indy with the help of Back On My Feet, a nonprofit organization that promotes the self-sufficiency of people experiencing homelessness.

As a proud supporter of Back On My Feet, the JW Indy works with the organization to employ men and women who have successfully completed the nonprofit’s program and classes over the course of three months. Before advancing to the formal employment interview process with JW Marriott staff, the Back On My Feet participants must meet a number of performance benchmarks.

Upon entering the Back On My Feet program, resident-members must attend scheduled group runs three times per week at 5:30am. Along with maintaining 90 percent attendance at the runs, participants must display team spirit, a strong work ethic and a good attitude while giving a strong effort every time out.

After 30 days in the program, the residents enter the Next Steps program, in which they can attend Financial Literacy and Skills to Succeed classes while maintaining their running schedule. Up to $1,200 in financial aid is available through the Next Steps program, over the course of nine months, for use on an education-related computer or security deposit on a new apartment. After three months of solid attendance and positive progress toward change, the men and women of Back On My Feet are eligible to be referred to the JW Marriott Indianapolis, based on staff recommendations.

Our partnership with Back On My Feet has been a huge positive for our hotel, the organization and the members of the Indianapolis community. As always, we’re glad to assist in any way we can to repay the hospitality we’ve enjoyed in Indy!

JW Indy Honors the United States Marine Corps

Friday, November 11, 2011 Posted by jwindyadmin in National Holidays

As the United States Marine Corps celebrated its 237th anniversary yesterday, November 10, 2011, we at the JW Marriott Indianapolis want to extend our thanks and the utmost respect to the brave men and women who have earned the title of “The Few, The Proud.”

With more than 200,000 active members and 40,000 in reserve, the United States Marine Corps (USMC) is the world’s premier amphibious fighting unit. The Marines have played crucial roles in numerous U.S. Military engagements throughout the history of the nation, including Belleau Wood in World War I, Iwo Jima in World War II, the Chosin Reservoir in the Korean War, Hue City in Vietnam and Fallujah in Iraq.

The USMC was originally formed in Philadelphia as a naval infantry unit, and has since evolved to fit the nation’s needs. Since then, Marines have served in every American armed conflict, playing major roles in the Pacific Theatre of World War II and the Vietnam War, during which Marines earned 57 Medals of Honor, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. As it says in the official Marine Corps Orders, read each year by Commandant Major General John A. Lejeune, “Marines have acquitted themselves with the greatest distinction, winning new honors on each occasion until the term ‘Marine’ has come to signify all that is highest in military efficiency and soldierly virtue.”

In honor of Veteran’s Day, remember to take some time to think of the US Marines who gave their lives for the freedom of all Americans through the years and those who remain active today.

“Some people live an entire lifetime wondering if they’ve made a difference in the world. Marines don’t have that problem.” – President Ronald Reagan
