We were thrilled with the enthusiasm on the floor and would like to take this opportunity to point out, as we did during the program, that the selection process was extensive and fully transparent. None of the 43 hotel industry judges knew either the name of the employees being nominated or the hotel they worked for. Further, we ensured that judges could not participate in the judging of a nominee submitted by their hotel. The finalist judging involved judges who are not from any hotels.
