General Manager Advisory Council!

The leadership team is already looking ahead to 2025 and the important role the General Manager Advisory Council will play.  As we’ve sold a few locations over the past 2 years, we’ve lost some members and the existing members would love to continue, if possible, along with a few new partners as well.  We are looking for 2-3 General Managers to join the GMAC team!  Here are the details:

• The purpose of the GM Advisory Council is to bring together a key group of insightful General Managers with members of the RRI West Leadership Team to engage in constructive conversation about the RRI West organization, influence positive change and take on key business initiatives that can create better efficiencies, processes and/or policies within RRI West. 

• Any member who wishes to be considered must submit an application to stephanie.doherty@rriwest.com no later than December 27, 2024.  Final selections for the 2025 GMAC will be made by members of the RRI West Leadership team and will be communicated by January 10, 2025. 

• In 2025, GMAC members will play an important role in mentoring other RRI West GMs within a given region.  For those GMs who are identified for final placement, your property performance, including but not limited to: top line revenue, bottom line flow through, labor controls, OSAT and Q-score may be considered. 

• The GMAC application is attached to this Gazette issue and can be found at this link: GMAC - Application.docx.  We look forward to hearing from you!

• Any questions?  Feel free to each out to our current GMAC members: Kevin Furst, Steve Zagzoug, Joann Lemasters, Michael Smith. They’d love to chat!

RRI West Training interest!

As we continuously improve and elevate the RRI West training experience, we are looking to identify an internal employee who is interested in spearheading a new and exclusive, RRI West only Training program in 2025.  All interested parties should send an email of interest to kelly.mccloud@rriwest.com by December 27, 2024.
