Join a Committee!

Whether your a new member looking to connect or returning member looking to get re-engaged with the association, joining a committee is a great place to start!

Our committees are made up of restaurant, hotel and allied partner members who are dedicated to their role as a committee member and want to provide input at every committee meeting.

Here are three questions to ask yourself:

1. Are you an industry professional able to volunteer my time to this organization?

2. Would you enjoy connecting with other industry colleagues from around the state?

3. Do you like to have fun?

If you answered yes to 1 or all 3 questions - you're eligible to join a committee! You do not have to be an owner or big decision maker to volunteer on a committee - we believe that a diverse and inclusive set of thoughts and perspectives make for the best collaboration.
