Recently, she was selected to serve on the Visit Mankato Board, an organization dedicated to promoting tourism and showcasing the unique experiences the region has to offer. She also serves on the board of Greater Mankato Rotary, part of the global Rotary network focused on service, leadership, and strengthening communities. These roles reflect her belief that hospitality and community development go hand in hand. When a city thrives through events, tourism, and local partnerships, everyone benefits. Beyond her professional work, Ismary is also a wife and mother of six children, balancing the demands of leadership with the joys and responsibilities of family life. That experience has shaped her approach to hospitality. She understands that travel is often about connecting families, gathering friends, celebrating, and visitors creating memories together. It’s a perspective that influences the way she leads her team and welcomes guests. Her ability to balance family, leadership, and community involvement reflects the resilience and dedication that define so many women in hospitality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da631bb00b8e744ad25233/9f7f5d38-72ba-4db8-ac5a-91250d9d4efb/hotelalexander.png BLOG - Crafting Memorable Hospitality with Heart and Vision - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.hotelalexandermn.com/blog/career-rooted-helping-others-hospitality-vision monthly 0.5 2026-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da631bb00b8e744ad25233/93525204-d859-42dc-be82-2c98de93cf69/Julene+Nolan.png BLOG - A Career Rooted in Helping Others: Bringing Vision to Hospitality - Julene Nolan, PsyD. LP, NCSP Psychologist and President of Phoenix School Counseling Dr. Nolan is a licensed psychologist and nationally certified school psychologist whose work has focused on student mental health, behavioral support, and social-emotional learning. Through her professional practice and leadership in school psychology, she has worked with educators, families, and schools to help young people navigate challenges and build resilience. She has also shared her expertise through teaching, research, and writing, including contributing to work focused on adolescent development and the real-world challenges young people face today. Her career reflects a deep belief that understanding how people grow, learn, and connect is essential to building stronger communities. That same perspective is part of what led Dr. Nolan to become a co-founder of Hospitality Ventures, the women-owned company behind Arch + Cable and Hotel Alexander. Together with her partners, she helped envision boutique hospitality experiences that would contribute to the vibrancy of downtown Mankato while offering visitors something distinctive and memorable. These hotels were designed not simply as places to stay, but as spaces where thoughtful design, community connection, and authentic hospitality intersect. The projects reflect a shared vision: creating environments that celebrate the character of the community while welcoming guests with warmth and intention. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da631bb00b8e744ad25233/9f7f5d38-72ba-4db8-ac5a-91250d9d4efb/hotelalexander.png BLOG - A Career Rooted in Helping Others: Bringing Vision to Hospitality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.hotelalexandermn.com/blog/women-who-make-the-experience-celebrating-the-women-shaping-every-stay-at-hotel-alexander-and-arch-cable monthly 0.5 2026-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da631bb00b8e744ad25233/9f7f5d38-72ba-4db8-ac5a-91250d9d4efb/hotelalexander.png BLOG - Celebrating the women shaping every stay at Hotel Alexander. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da631bb00b8e744ad25233/ca10703b-7955-4a06-983f-37ff66f21f30/michelle%2Bheadshot+%283%29.png BLOG - Celebrating the women shaping every stay at Hotel Alexander. - Michelle Schooff: Vice President, Industry Product Marketing, Consumer Products + Agribusiness, SAP In every thriving community, there are individuals whose vision quietly shapes the future. In Mankato, one of those leaders is Michelle Schooff, a business executive, entrepreneur, and community advocate whose work has helped elevate both local industry and community life. Michelle’s professional journey spans more than two decades in the technology sector. As a Vice President of Industry Marketing Strategy at SAP, she has spent her career helping organizations around the world navigate innovation, growth, and digital transformation through strategic marketing leadership. Yet despite operating on a global stage, Michelle’s roots and her passion remain firmly grounded in southern Minnesota. Raised in the small farming community of Rose Creek and educated at Minnesota State University, Mankato, Michelle built her career with the same values that define many Midwestern communities: hard work, collaboration, and a deep belief in giving back. Those values are evident in the impact she has had across the Greater Mankato region. https://www.hotelalexandermn.com/blog/a-classic-mankato-holiday-tradition-near-hotel-alexander-kiwanis-holiday-lights monthly 0.5 2025-12-16 https://www.hotelalexandermn.com/blog/styx-mankato-arch-and-cable-hotel-alexander monthly 0.5 2025-11-19 https://www.hotelalexandermn.com/blog/game-night-in-mankato-msu-mavericks-vs-rpi monthly 0.5 2025-10-23 https://www.hotelalexandermn.com/blog/a-day-in-mankato-with-hotel-alexander monthly 0.5 2025-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da631bb00b8e744ad25233/1757953414337-MDCODAW1OCKLKKU7TLYG/unsplash-image-JvJx3aZxp5Y.jpg BLOG - A Day in Mankato with Hotel Alexander - Weggy's On Campus Kick off your morning at Weggy’s, a longtime Mankato favorite for hearty breakfasts served with a smile.
