Women in Hospitality Management Panel

Posted on Monday, March 10th, 2014

Join the University of Guelph Sustainable Restaurant Project (UGSRP) and the Hospitality, Food and Tourism Management Student Association (HFTMSA) for the Women in Hospitality Management Panel talk on Wednesday, March 12th, 2014 @ 7:00pm in PJ's Restaurant in the Atrium.

As we are students working in a female-dominated hospitality industry, it’s hard to ignore the change in gender organization upon entering a management role. While women have made their mark in recent years, men are still holding the majority of positions in upper management. We want to get to the bottom of this change by speaking to the women who are currently experiencing it across different sectors of hospitality. Topics will include:  work/life balance; the stereotypes and barriers that exist for women; how we have overcome them, and how we see the future for women in management of hospitality.

Guest Speakers:
Ann Topp - Regional Director, Eastern Canada, Earls Restaurants
Erin Haid - Talent Development Manager, Canada Region, Starwood Hotels
Liat Weiss - District Sales Representative, Metro North, GFS Canada

COST/REGISTRATION: None! Just come and enjoy a night of discussion with UGSRP, HFTMSA and your follow peers! This event is open to the entire student body (yes, that means you too guys!).

The panel discussion will be followed by a reception at 9:00pm in PJ's, hosted by the Fine Dining class. There will be complimentary beverages served as well.
