Our Committees
Education/Mentoring Committee
The NHLF education and mentor committee exists to develop and maintain the related foundation program components including scholarship application process, communication, and administration.
Fundraising Committee
The NHLA fundraising committee has the responsibility to meet the financial goal set each year. This is accomplished through soliciting and receiving monetary contributions from donors within and outside the hospitality industry.
Communication Committee
The NHLF communication committee is responsible for helping to develop, create, and maintain the brand throughout all communication areas including website, social media, and marketing or information collateral.
Events/F&B Committee

A minimum of one main event will take place and be developed into a signature event on an annual basis. Smaller events will be scheduled throughout the year with proceeds benefitting the foundation.
