This event has grown to be the largest means of hospitality employee recognition in California, due primarily to the broad base of cooperation and support from the community and local tourism leaders. Last year the event was attended by 800 people from our community, including over 400 individuals recognized for excellence in hospitality.

The awards program is designed to recognize all of the outstanding people working in the hospitality industry who perform beyond expectations.  Nomination forms for the “Excellence in Hospitality Award” (for line staff employees only) and the “Special Achievement Award” (for hourly supervisors) are accessible below for you to use to nominate the outstanding employees in your organization.  If you need additional forms, please feel free to download the nomination forms or register online.  All nominated employees will be publicly recognized through an “Excellence in Hospitality” pin.  Judges will choose eleven finalists, including the Papa Vince Award and Special Achievement Award from those nominated.  Nominations are open to the employees of businesses that are members of MCHA.

There are no limits to the number of hospitality employees you may nominate.  Take this opportunity to nominate and acknowledge your outstanding employees!  Please submit your nominations online or mail to the address listed on the nomination form;

No later than September 22, 2008.

Please complete the luncheon reservation form  and return it today to reserve space for this special event.  We are expecting seats to sell quickly for the Hospitality Recognition Day luncheon, an event that will recognize your employees as an integral part of your business and the hospitality industry. 

Best Regards,

Mark Bastis

President, MCHA
