Throughout the trying times of the pandemic, these outstanding people persevered, exemplifying what California hospitality is all about.
Lynn S. Mohrfeld, President and CEO of CHLA
Twenty years ago, aspiring hoteliers had few opportunities to learn about or enter the hospitality industry in the early part of their careers. Now, thanks to the Hospitality Foundation, doors to enter the hospitality industry have been opened for people that come from all walks of life. I am proud of my family’s role in that process and encourage all hoteliers to look for opportunities to help make our industry inclusive and accessible to the students who will shape the future of our industry.
