One of the things that makes this recognition particularly meaningful is the opportunity to pay it forward. In connection with the ICON Award, NEWH has created a tribute campaign benefiting scholarships for the next generation of hospitality talent.

If you’d like to celebrate this milestone with a tribute ad, personal message or scholarship contribution, you can do so here:

Above all, thank you. A career is never built alone. Stacy is incredibly grateful for the relationships, collaborations, opportunities and friendships that have shaped her career over the years. This recognition belongs in many ways to the community of people who have believed in her, worked alongside and supported her throughout this journey.

We can’t wait to take you along. More from Manila coming soon! 🇵🇭
