NSMH Family and Supporters,

My Name is Steven Tiller and it’s an honor to be serving as your 2011-2012 National Chairperson for the National Society of Minorities in Hospitality.  This position comes with great responsibility and commitment. I’m prepared to accomplish each goal and conquer any challenges that lie ahead as we embark on this great journey.

As we return to our campuses in the fall, we must concentrate on increasing membership, raising awareness, and maintaining our individual chapters.  In order to yield great success in all that we do, remember to utilize all programs and opportunities that NSMH has to offer. Some of the greatest opportunities for new and returning members to benefit from are the Regional Conferences. Regional Conferences are an efficient tool for our students to gain knowledge of the industry and build a network with other students and professionals. As we continue to support our mission of educating, recruiting and retaining minority students in the hospitality industry, we must continue to create opportunities for individuals that will make a life long impact.

This year we head to our nation’s capitol, Washington, DC, for our 23^rd Annual National Conference; our theme is “NSMH Nation: iDream, iLearn, iAm.” This year your dreams will start transforming into reality, in the very same city where the reality of the United States of America began. It’s truly an honor to host our 23^rd annual conference in this prestigious city. This city is the heart of America’s rich heritage & culture. Washington has been the home of all 44 of the nation’s presidents. In addition the city houses the United States Government, World Bank headquarters, and 72 foreign embassies. The nation’s capitol is the heart of the United States and as you can see houses some powerful forces in the world. Now we the members of the NSMH Nation join this illustrious group. That’s right the National Society of Minorities in Hospitality will be among some of the most powerful forces in the world. So NSMH Nation, lets rally together and make that great migration to the Hyatt Regency Crystal City and Washington, DC.

I am highly enthused to be serving as your National Chair, and if there is anything I can assist you with throughout the year please do not hesitate to contact me. If you have any ideas that you believe the organization will benefit from, please contact me. NSMH Nation: iDream, iLearn, iAm….. We are NSMH!!

Warm Regards,

SAVE THE DATE!
