Glenwood Springs, Colo. (April 02, 2019)—As Glenwood Hot Springs continues work on its soon-to-open aquatics attractions, the world-famous hot springs resort is also rife with new personnel developments. A dedicated, longtime employee received an award for her outstanding leadership qualities and, after months of searching, the resort filled essential roles on its managerial staff.
Karen Thorpe is the latest recipient of the Devereux Leadership Award, an honor that recognizes individuals who demonstrate exceptional management skills that align with the resort’s mission to “make people feel better.” The tribute rewards qualities such as problem-solving, team building, accountability, effective communications style and professionalism.
In her role as Executive Assistant, Thorpe has worn many hats in her six years at the Hot Springs and can always be counted on to handle herself with poise and grace. “Karen is the epitome of a Devereux Leadership Award recipient. Her competency and leadership are an asset to our guests, employees and the community,” Glenwood Hot Springs Resort Vice President John Bosco said. “She’s highly organized and efficient. Karen is a multi-tasking pro who can expertly juggle the demands of a business with multiple revenue streams and many moving parts.”
Bosco also recently announced the resort has filled two managerial positions. Rosemary Holschuh stepped into the role of Director of Human Resources on Jan 9. With her background and experience, the former Human Resources Director for Warwick Hotels and Resorts and Grand Heritage Hotel Group seamlessly transitioned into her new position at Glenwood Hot Springs. As Director of Human Resources (HR), Holschuh is expected to be a pivotal player in both short and long-term HR planning as well as in the daily operations of the department. Her role encompasses all things HR-related, including talent recruiting, employee training, educational programming, professional development, legal compliance, employee relations, payroll, compensation, benefits, employee safety and retention and promoting a safe, fair and positive work environment.
The other recently filled position is Resort Sales Manager. Lindsey Lewis brings her extensive skills in marketing and communications in the tourism field to her new post, which commenced on April 1. Lewis’ previous experience includes co-ownership of Lewis Marketing, marketing manager for Internet Honey and vice president of tourism marketing for the Glenwood Springs Chamber Resort Association. As the Resort Sales Manager, Lewis will be responsible for planning, driving, generating and maximizing revenues and operating profit for Glenwood Hot Springs Resort. Effective prospecting and relationship building, as well as promotions, special events, advertising and sales calls will fall under Lewis’ purview.
