Delta Vacations

As part of Delta Vacations’ celebrations during Black History Month, employees had the opportunity to visit the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) Legacy Museum at the end of February. Director of Marketing & Direct Channel Strategy Cathy Douville was one of those who attended, walking away with immensely more than she could have ever expected. “Before the trip, I was told it was going to be informative, raw, emotional, and life-changing – it was all of that and more. Each of the 3 sites we visited was so immersive and deeply moving that I found myself feeling a range of emotions throughout my time there – anger, sadness, horror, heartbreak, overwhelm, inspiration and optimism. I can honestly say that I left there a different person than when I started.” The EJI Legacy Museum travels through 400 years of American history featuring some of the most impactful eras of the country’s past and displaying moving galleries and exhibits highlighting a deeper reflection of racial injustice in America. Cathy voices “we have come a long way from the days of slavery, but we must recognize and address the other forms of oppression around us and unite to fight for freedom and equality for all. I will continue to serve as an ally and stand up for those that are marginalized.” As an organization, Delta Vacations aims to commemorate the heritage, contributions and achievements of Black Americans, focusing on significant contributions made through their work across various industries and throughout history. Learning more about achievements and celebrating cultures helps our people to continue fostering inclusivity and equity in our workplace and beyond.

Profit Sharing Day is always a celebration at Delta Vacations, and this year was no exception! Falling on Valentine’s Day, this year rather than limiting the fun to one day, we wanted to #ShareTheLove by celebrating our employees all week long! ??? ? Employees joined in the festivities and celebrated from their workspace - whether that was in one of our offices in Atlanta or Minot, or from home. Fun times were had by all as our people repped their favorite team following the Big Game, shared highlights from their favorite 2024 vacation, wrote encouraging notes to express gratitude to colleagues and celebrated our Customer Engagement Center’s 25th anniversary with trivia!? ? On Friday, Delta Vacations leaders closed out the week with a series of raffles throughout the day to commemorate Profit Sharing. What a wonderful week it was celebrating what it means to #GoBeyondTheFlight!?

??Lunar New Year at Delta Vacations?? We kicked off the 2025 Lunar New Year with a celebration of culture, food, and tradition. Mooncakes and smiles were shared by our Culture Club during the January town hall. What a joy to offer sentiments of hope and renewal going into the season while also celebrating the diversity of our people!

At the end of last year, our Minneapolis Sales team partnered with local Travel Advisors to package food for area shelters at Second Harvest Heartland . During the giveback, our team members and agency partners collectively packaged over 6,700 pounds of food. We loved having the opportunity to join our agency partners to give back in their community. Thanks the teams at Delta Vacations that made this giveback event possible and to our travel partners that generously volunteered their time.

Delta Vacations is proud to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy by providing employees with opportunities to get involved in their communities as part of a “day on, not a day off”. Thank you to our colleague Joi Light for sharing your experience volunteering to spread Dr. King’s message to the next generation.?

Last month, members of our team joined with Comunidad Connect for a volunteer opportunity in the Dominican Republic. Thank you Katrin Koenig for sharing your experience!

WHAT. A. YEAR. Thank you to the entire Delta Vacations team for making 2024 unforgettable. We can't wait to see what 2025 has in store!

Last week, Delta Vacations participated in one of our favorite traditions of creating holiday gift baskets for the Cool Girls Holiday Extravaganza. Cool Girls, Inc. is an Atlanta non-profit that provides free after-school care for underserved Atlanta public school girls. Each year, the girls who have good attendance and active participation in the organization’s after-school program receive an invite to the extravaganza event where they get to pick a gift basket. This year's theme was "How the Grinch Stole Holiday Shopping." Big thanks to Buffi Planas, Sasha G., Cassandra Lee-Austin, Kama Winters, Krystin Harris, Neikya Davis and Patricia Christensen for donating their time to create the baskets and lasting memories for Cool Girls!
