Open Letter about COVID-19
An open letter from business leaders to our community:
Our company’s vision is to positively impact the people and world around us. We have spent many hours soul-searching how we live out that vision during this unprecedented time. We have a choice. Do we choose to respond with a positive vision, grounded in reality, and inspired by the resilience of the United States? Or, do we choose to let fear paralyze recovery?…
Not unprecedented… Team HDG’s resilience and our gratitude.
To all of Team HDG, thank you. HDG Hotels is navigating the COVID-19 crisis with the best team a company could have. It has been a rough road, but with our “yes, we can together” motto, vision, and mission being lived out each and every day of these challenging times, we will get through this. Not only will we get through it, but we will be stronger on the other side of it all. We are so grateful.
