Stories that Change You


Bianca DeStout , Account Executive for Marcus Hotels & Resorts, was recently featured in Hotel Management Magazine’s article “Volunteering a Meaningful Part of Millennials Lives”, in which they asked members of the Thirty Under 30 class what they would do if they had time off in their communities and why. For Bianca, volunteering has always been top-of-mind. “I can always find time to be involved in my community because it is something that is very important to me”, such as her four-year involvement with Big Brothers Big Sisters as a Big Sister to her now 13-year-old mentee. “Our job in hospitality is an important one, but what really matters to me as an individual is my ability to make my mark in this world and to contribute to society and my community as a whole. I am fortunate to work for an employer that promotes community involvement and encourages it by allowing me the time to do so.”
