HOSPITALITY SPOTLIGHT

CFHLA Believes to Support Industry

Due to the ramifications of COVID-19 within the hospitality industry, CFHLA has rebranded the annual CFHLA Hospitality Gala for 2020. This new CFHLA gathering will be entitled: CFHLA Believes: A

Night to Support Hospitality In-

dustry Employees.

CFHLA Believes is scheduled to occur on Saturday, Dec. 12, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Hilton Orlando. This networking activity will feature partnerships with Central Florida charitable organizations that help and support furloughed hospitality employees, including Second Har-

vest Food Bank of Central Florida

as well as a GoFundMe account for direct donations.

This activity will continue to feature the following CFHLA annual awards: Lodging Member of the Year, Engineer of the Year, Allied Member of the Year and the Charles Andrews Memorial Hospitality Award for Community Service.

Additionally, CFHLA will be collecting new sneakers for the over 10,000 homeless students in Orange and Osceola counties as well as gently used flat-style shoes for Operation Shared Shoes, a nonprofit organization that collects and distributes shoes to those in need.

CFHLA looks forward to supporting the hospitality industry.

Rich Maladecki is president and CEO of the Central Florida Hotel and Lodging Association, the world’s largest regional hotel association (www.CFHLA.org).
