2017 has been a very active and productive year for NHLA and our members. We offered or participated in over 75 events. These events included activities such as educational seminars, conferences and social networking outings. We also provided many activities and programs for our Women in Lodging and Next Reigning Generation members including philanthropic support for local charities.
A new year brings new programs and opportunities. Professional development is of key interest to everyone so we will be providing strong focus in this area in 2018.
January events
January brings the Women in Lodging mentor program to our SNV and NNV members. The event is a 10 week program bringing mentors and mentees together to expand career knowledge, professional development and build a strong network.
January 18, Jack Mayes, Executive Director with the Nevada Disability and Law Center, will present information regarding service dogs in public accommodations. Learn the laws, regulations and best practice when dealing with guests either having legitimate service dogs or falsely stating they do.
The first annual NNV NHLA Bowling Tournament will take place at King Pin on January 25 in Reno. All NNV members are invited to participate in this fun event. Proceeds will benefit Dress for Success NNV. Join us.
