			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am sweltering in Scottsdale, Arizona today.  I here to  facilitate a strategic planning session tomorrow for the Arizona Governor&#8217;s Commission on Service and Volunteerism and their National Service partners.  I am staying at the lovely <a title="Kimpton Hotels" href="http://kimptonhotels.com/" target="_blank">Kimpton Hotels&#8217;</a>, <a title="FireSky" href="http://www.fireskyresort.com/" target="_blank">FireSky Resort and Spa</a>&#8230;gorgeous place!  I am a big Kimpton fan ever since interviewing their COO, <a title="Niki Leodankis" href="http://www.kimptonhotels.com/programs/kimpton-cares-interview.aspx" target="_blank">Niki Leondakis</a>, for my forthcoming book on <a href="http://www.businessgivingstrategies.com/store/the-book/" target="_blank">strategic business philanthropy</a>.  Kimpton has a very well thought out community involvement program with national partners.</p>
<p>In the room, near the phone where the other literature on Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants is located, there is as always a brochure on <a title="Kimpton Cares" href="http://www.kimptonhotels.com/programs/kimpton-cares-interview.aspx" target="_blank">Kimpton Cares</a>, describing their approach to philanthropy.  In other Kimptons, I have seen posters in their elevators highlighting their partnerships.  Even the coffee sleeves for their free morning coffee feature information about their nonprofit partnerships.  I so appreciate that Kimpton takes every opportunity to present a consistent message in a variety of forms about how they support the community.  Makes it feel even better to me to stay at one of their lovely properties.</p>
