Hello NSMH!

We are excited to invite you to join the National Society of Minorities in Hospitality as we celebrate our 24th Anniversary. We are so excited to be in Orlando, Florida this year and hope that you take advantage of everything it has to offer.

We are extremely grateful for the sponsorship that will be provided to fund this event and support our organization. Without the continued support and backing of all of our sponsors NSMH would not be the same. Special thank you to ALL of our sponsors…especially our Industry Partners: ARAMARK, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, Hilton Hotels Worldwide, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, Marriott International, Inc., Sodexo, and Starwood Hotels & Resorts.

The 24th Annual Conference will continue to offer the Resume Ready Room, Networking Suites, developmental workshops, and of course the career fair with some of the top companies in the industry and Hospitality Olympics.  We will bring back Game Night following opening session.  Make sure you take advantage of the opportunity before you; network and build relationships with both our corporate sponsors and fellow NSMH members. Remember that our continued passion and dedication to the mission and vision of NSMH is vital to the success and future of the NSMH Nation!
