GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS
One of the primary benefits of membership is our active and constant monitoring of government affairs issues through our contracted government affairs
director. He is responsible for attending various meetings on our behalf such as city
council meetings, water meetings, board of supervisor meetings, etc. MCHA has a 25-year
history in the county enabling our government affairs director to establish solid
relationships with many city and county officials. We have strength in numbers and our
voice is heard when issues arise that affect our industry.
EDUCATION
Education is an essential element of our association. Several
seminars are scheduled for the year plus our Job Fair. These
seminars are free to our members and cover topics from Coaching Skills and Customer
Service to Serving Alcohol Safely to mention a few. In addition, we have an excellent
scholarship program that offers students wanting to pursue an education in the hospitality
or wine industries financial support for college and advanced degrees. Funds are also
available for continuing education and certification programs to help employees already in
the field to increase their knowledge for career advancement. We also offer a video training library free to our members for in-house training.
COMMUNITY & BUSINESS RELATIONS
A network has been created to enhance our industry's ability to communicate with local
residents, politicians and members of the business community. We continually educate the
community on the benefits of the hospitality industry and tourism through community and business relations' efforts, that bridge the gap
between our industry and the community, providing a "face" to hospitality.
SPECIAL EVENTS
To provide informal networking opportunities for our membership we hold bi-monthly general membership luncheon meetings with speakers
who address issues that pertain to our industry. In addition, our Annual Dinner and Golf
Tournament promote networking opportunities and relationships among our members. MCHA also
organizes and is the sponsoring association for Employee Appreciation Day and the
Hospitality Recognition Lunch. Both of these events recognize
the hard work and dedication of our employees.
