Fin380 - Valerie C. Ferguson is a positive role model for black men and women around the world especially for today’s youth who are interested in a career in the Hospitality/Lodging Industry. She has a positive influence in today’s society and is constantly fighting for more people of color in the position of leadership in the Hospitality/Lodging Industry.
Fin 380 - Valerie, a native of San Francisco, never thought that she would be working in the lodging industry. After graduated in 1977, from the University of San Francisco with a BA in Political Science, Ferguson traveled to Atlanta looking for employment. She started off her career in the hospitality field working for the Atlanta Hyatt Regency, as a night auditor clerk making $2.90 an hour. She originally started working for the company to save money to achieve her goals to attend law school in California. What began as just a helping stepping stone to gain higher education became a successful career she enjoyed. She fell in love with the hotel industry and Atlanta and stayed on at the Hyatt for 18 years becoming a general manager for Flint Michigan, Atlanta and Chicago.
Hrm310 - I have a high regard for Ms Ferguson because, she is an ideal role model for young people today who want to be a part of this challenging but rewarding career. She actively participates within the community and is always fighting for African Americans, women, and other minorities, gainful employment in the Hospitality/Lodging Industry. She has encouraged other hotelier’s to search out our young men and women who represents the new workforce generation.
