4. **Purpose:** Hilton team members continue to fulfill Conrad Hilton’s vision of filling the world with the warmth of hospitality for over a century. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, team members work tirelessly to provide an exceptional guest experience while creating a positive impact in the community.
