(Star Housekeepers in a New Era) Award.\n\nChristine Perkins, a housekeeper at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Cedar City in Cedar City, Utah won the contest’s $5,000 cash grand prize. Additionally, her property will receive a comprehensive product, training and consultation package from Cintas and its contest partners.\n\n“This year’s S.H.I.N.E. Award finalists truly embody what a strong work ethic looks like,” said Nicole Beall, Vice President - Hospitality & Gaming Strategic Markets at Cintas. “Housekeepers in the hospitality industry have shown great resilience and dedication to overcome tremendous obstacles the last few years while they have worked tirelessly to provide exceptional service to guests and staff alike.\"\n\nIn nominating Christine for the S.H.I.N.E. Award her General Manager, Shallon Engle, noted that Christine is a “superstar who has endured a lot” while remaining committed to her job through the most challenging circumstances.\n\nFollowing a COVID-19 diagnosis, Christine suffered a significant stroke that affected her ability to speak, count and read. Because of the severity of her stroke, she was rushed to a hospital in a nearby town – but she still made sure someone alerted her staff so her work at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Cedar City could get done.\n\nSince she received treatment for her stroke, Christine has regained her full ability to speak and has returned to the property in her role as head housekeeper.\n\n“We received numerous nominations this year and every single entry highlighted the important work that housekeepers are doing, and the positive impact they have on their hospitality properties across the country,” Beall added. “However, Christine’s dedication to the hotel’s staff and guests – despite her own life-threatening emergency – made her stand out and we’re so honored to recognize her as this year’s S.H.I.N.E. Award grand-prize winner.”\n\nThe Holiday Inn Express & Suites Cedar City will also receive:\n\n\n$2,500 in cleaning and hygiene products and services from Cintas\n\n\nA training and development package from the Indoor Environment...
