MGM Resorts commemorates Women’s History Month with new lioness logo
MGM Resorts International has temporarily introduced a lioness logo in the place of its iconic Leo the lion logo to celebrate Women’s History Month. MGM Resorts has so far appointed the first two women presidents of Strip resorts and the first female Executive Chef in the food and beverage industry on The Strip.
In 2019, Ann Hoff, President & COO of Excalibur Hotel & Casino, was promoted as one of three Group Presidents for MGM Resorts. “It’s fitting today on International Women’s Day that we take time to acknowledge women’s everlasting contributions to human civilisation, and their enduring strength as cornerstones of our communities,” said Phyllis A. James, Chief Diversity and Corporate Responsibility Officer for MGM Resorts International. “As we look for opportunities to uplift women in 2019, we are thrilled to put our efforts toward our 13th annual Women’s Leadership Conference, one of our country’s premiere conferences dedicated to the development of women for leadership and advancement in all walks of life. This year’s conference is scheduled for 5â6 August at MGM Grand, Las Vegas.”
Women’s History Month began as a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California. The Education Task Force of the Sonoma County (California) Commission on the Status of Women planned and executed a “Women’s History Week” celebration in 1978. The organisers selected the week of March 8 to correspond with International Women’s Day. The movement spread across the country as other communities initiated their own Women’s History Week celebrations the following year.
The 2019 Women’s History Month theme is “Visionary Women: Champions of Peace & Nonviolence. âThe theme honorsâ women who have led efforts to end war, violence, and injustice and pioneered the use of nonviolence to change society.”
