Drew Walls

Board President (Interim Appointment)

Drew Walls is the General Manager of the AC Hotel North Hills in Raleigh, NC, with 30+ years of experience with Marriott Hotels. Throughout his career, Drew has focused on building great teams, creating memorable guest experiences, and leading with heart.
Drew has been involved with Honey for Good for over 10 years, starting when bee hives were placed on the rooftop of the Renaissance Asheville an experience that sparked a lasting appreciation for sustainability and community-focused initiatives.
He’s passionate about giving back and actively supports causes like Toys for Tots and Shop with a Cop, always looking for ways to make a positive difference.
Drew lives by a simple mantra that guides both his leadership and his life:
“In a world where you can be anything, be kind—unless you can be a unicorn, then be a unicorn.”

The Center for Honeybee Research is a charitable educational, research organization founded in 2011 to collect objective data in an open-sourced, non-proprietary platform for the benefit of researchers, beekeepers, and policy makers — to ensure the survival of the honeybee.
