Navigating Hospitality Round-table May 7, 2020



Our leaders have gathered to discuss what they know best, how to lead the hospitality industry in times where we don’t know what tomorrow brings.  This round-table closes the circle, we started at Timeless Tanglewood, and for this chapter, we close at Timeless Tanglewood.

As you will hear, this is only just the beginning of what is next.  What these leaders discuss is being echoed across the globe with regards to travel and tourism. 

The conversation is raw and authentic, it has not been edited.  This is a time capsule for all of us, and it has allowed those of us on the outside, to take a look into what these leaders, true leaders, have been thinkings.  

 

Alexis Allen also gave me an update regarding the Northwest Florida Chapter of Frontline Foods which was mentioned in the podcast.  Huge shout out to Alexis for spearheading this effort.  Directly from her as of May 6, 2020:  Northwest Florida Chapter delivered 275 meals and paid local restaurants $3,370 in our first 10 days.  Please donate or sign up as a restaurant by this link.    Alexis also sent me information regarding the PPP employee rehiring, please see that document here.
