Bio
Neal Schapman
Emily was my leader at the River North Hotel Collection and I couldn't have asked for a more motivating, caring, or encouraging Director. Emily was always available to collaborate on action plans to achieve challenging revenue goals, help win business, and remediate service failures. Emily was also terrific at supporting personal and professional development plans and opportunities to help our team grow at work and at home. Emily is a value to all teams and I would love the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Emily Likosar is one of the most caring and influential bosses I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Everyday she empowered her employees to make decisions and entrusted us to use our judgement. Emily took the time to get to know each of us and what our strengths and weaknesses were so that she could better help us on our journey of becoming professionals. During our time working together at the River North Hotel Collection Emily helped me grow and develop into the confident event coordinator that I pride myself in being today. She is a fantastic leader and any company would be lucky to have her on their team.
