2020 PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR
YOU
That’s right, YOU are the 2020 Professional of the Year. You are the reason the hospitality industry is surviving this year. Each day you dedicate your time, efforts, ideas, creativity, and leadership to a world that is learning how to connect, learn, engage, and celebrate in a non-traditional, and some might say a unique, way. It goes without saying that this year has not been easy – but we owe you our gratitude. We could not do what we do without you.
