Gena Chen Director of Catering and Event Management, The St. Regis San Francisco May 12, 2017

We became a member of The Hotel Council of San Francisco in September of 2018 and attended the Human Resources Seminar in October. We learned about several compliance rules from  top-notch speakers that are influential during the entire employee journey. Sparkwork Software automates these compliance rules inside organizations so that these risks can be avoided. The attendees of the seminar were in the right spirit to network, help and learn from each other! We are grateful to be a part of the Hotel Council.

The Hotel Council creates connections among its allied members and hotels throughout the year through committees, educational programs, and philanthropic initiatives. The individuals I have met on committees are now integral business partners at my hotel.

The Hotel Council truly represents and supports all its members and does not shy away from tackling tough issues. Our partnership with the Hotel Council has opened doors for so many of us and connected me personally to many other professionals and industry leaders.

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.

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.

There’s strength in numbers and that sums up exactly why the Hotel Council of San Francisco is such an asset to every hotel. Whether it’s tracking policies, advocating for our employees, or defending our industry’s interests – we’re much more effective together than we could ever be alone.

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!
