Summertime Shenanigans

‍

Greetings once again to all the wonderful individuals in our Hospitality community! You might be feeling a bit weary after the bustling activities in our city, but whether your face shows the glow of excitement or the signs of fatigue, I can hardly believe that another quarter has zipped by, and we are already transitioning into the Fall season. Personally, I am eagerly anticipating it!

For us, Fall means planning season! Our Board of Directors is actively engaged in charting the course for the future by working on some great upcoming events and keeping an eye out for new faces to add to our board. If you have a desire to play a more active role in HSMAI San Diego and believe you possess fantastic ideas and skills to share with our community, we encourage you to connect with us at info@hsmaisd.com. We are seeking fresh perspectives who can contribute to shaping our programs and events, fostering relationships with students and the community, spearheading fundraising, and sponsorships, and ensuring a promising outlook for the year 2024 and beyond.

Should you have any inquiries about the opportunities and responsibilities of being a board member or how your unique talents can be utilized for the betterment of our industry, please don't hesitate to reach out as well.

Thank you, everyone! I am looking forward to meeting all of you very soon!
