Yvonne, the recipient of the Community Service Employee of the Year, is a shining example of someone who utilizes her hospitality talents both on the job and in volunteer projects within our Central Florida community. She is always willing to pitch in to help the team with anything needed and is ready to assist coworkers during times of turnover, sick calls, room resets, and trainings.

Managers say her spirit of selflessness shines in how she gives back to our community, living the company’s guiding principal to “love your community.” Yvonne supports CFHLA’s Cares Collection Drives, volunteers to assist schools through CFHLA’s Adopt-A-School program and participates in community blood drives to help our neighbors in need.

Yvonne has a passion for helping students at two adopted elementary schools, consistently supporting the Christmas shoppe, Angel Tree, holiday food and clothing drives.

She is also an inspiring role model, instilling the values of community service in her daughter, who has volunteered with Ms. Suarez for several years during Adopt-A-School projects at Cheney Elementary and Little River Elementary School.

Managers praise Yvonne for offering phenomenal service, for outstanding teamwork, and for being a reliable and shining example of how to give back to young people and our community.
