I was awarded a Hotel Council scholarship and given the opportunity to speak at the Annual Charity Golf Tournament. This exposed me to the hospitality community and developed my professional network. I’m forever grateful to the Hotel Council for helping students transform their dreams into reality.

The Sustainability Committee has become a vital component for the Hotel Community in San Francisco. The platform has created great collaboration among hotels who have been quick to implement best practices. Robust engagement has produced everything from a network of hotel beehives across the city to a truly satisfactory guest shower experience that complies with the objectives of the city. This committee is a shining star for the Hotel Council of San Francisco who works so hard to advocate for our industry!

The Economic Forecasting Seminar is a great event as it brings together experts on several different relevant topics in one place. I look forward to this event each year knowing it will arm me and my team with helpful information that we need to plan for the next year and stay tuned in to what is impacting all hotels in the market.
