COMMITTED TO AUTHENTICITY

In November 2010, a small group based at Marriott headquarters met for the first-ever Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Straight Ally group for Marriott International called ONE. This Associate Network was cultivated to serve as a voice for LGBTQ associates and their allies, as well as to create a supportive network for a community that had no formal representation before within the company.

With over 2,500 volunteer members in 25+ chapter around the world, ONE continues to move forward in seeking new ways to:
 

• Develop community among members

• Increase a diversity mindset to include LGBTQ issues, and

• Assist in unleashing revenue opportunities with concentrated marketing & sales efforts within the LGBTQ community
