PRESIDENT'S NOTE

Dear Member,

I am delighted to share that nominations for the 2023 IHI Hospitality Management Awards are now open.

Now in its 26th year, the IHI Hospitality Management Awards (HMAs) continues to retain its uniqueness as nominations are made by IHI Members and are solely in recognition of the nominee, their passion, professionalism, ability, energy, dedication and excellence in what they do.

By nominating a deserving member of your team or colleague, you are acknowledging the valuable contribution they make to their team, business, and the broader industry.

Across 14 Award categories, 42 judges independently pre-screen nominations received in the first round. The top 5 scoring nominees within each award category will then go forward through to the second round for an interview conducted in person by a panel of three judges.

When nominating, it is important to:

Give the nomination the time it deserves, don't leave it to the last minute

Ensure you tell us why you feel this individual deserves this recognition

Discuss the nomination with your nominee and explain each stage of the process

The winner of each award category will be announced at the IHI Founders Evening & Hospitality Management Awards on November 23rd at the Clayton Hotel, Burlington Road. Click here to see details about the IHI Hospitality Management Awards.

Just a reminder that as your IH President, I am here to support you and I welcome your views on IHI matters, so please feel free to reach out at president@ihi.ie.

All the best,

Daragh O'Neill IHI President
