Golf Events
Hospitality and golf go hand-in-hand

 

Not only do we enjoy the  game and the fellowship, we use our events as a means of raising money for our educational projects, scholarship programs, with a small portion going to our PAC fund.  We are currently involved in three separate events. 

Twilight League – 9 holes of golf played after work several times each month (May through September), great for networking, entertaining a client and just enjoying the game before the sun goes down. Click here to for details and to sign up.
for Twilight.

Annual Golf Tournament – held in September with many extra features added to make it a great education fund-raiser and a “not to be missed”  evening event with a fantasic meal, prizes, auction items and drawings.
Pro/AM – sponsored by the Course holding the annual tournament.  It will include some of the best pros in the city playing in foursome with our members. A portion of the proceeds from this event goes to our education fund.
 

 

Governmental Affairs – members of the Association working behind the scenes to keep our elected officials informed on our industry.  An annual  reception is held to provide a forum for our membership to network with these individuals.

Hotel Security Network –  Through fax and emails, hotel Front Desk and Security personnel are alerted to possible criminal situations that may cause on-site harm or injury.  A 59-page Security Reference Guide containing tips, suggestions and a list of local support phone numbers can be downloaded right from this website.  Sign up forms are also included. 

Hospy Gala – An annual black tie event held each year to celebrate the  hospitality industry, to recognize outstanding colleagues  and to raise  money  for our educational/scholarship program.
