​Volunteer and give back

Are you a member who is interested in giving back to the industry? Do you want to help bring other hospitality leaders and their employees together to build a stronger industry? Volunteering for association committees and work groups, or serving on one of our Boards of Directors, is a great way to do that.

Join a workgroup

Get actively involved in the work of the association by participating on a standing or project-based workgroup. Here are some that are currently at work to strengthen our work together:
​

• Advocacy Workgroup: This group meets monthly via a virtual conference call to shape Hospitality Minnesota's policy and advocacy work at the local, state and federal levels. To learn more and get involved, contact Ben.

• Membership Recruitment Workgroup: Small groups are brought together to work on time-limited membership recruitment campaigns. If you'd like to learn more about getting involved with recruitment efforts, contact Sam.

​​

• Regional Organizing Workgroups: Groups of member organizers work together, by region, to bring members together for networking and timely programs on topics of interest to members in each region. To learn more about participating in regional organizing, contact Ann.

• Member Engagement Workgroup: Help us plan events, programs and networking opportunities to bring members together, build hospitality industry expertise and have fun! To get involved in member engagement, contact Ann.​

Serve on our Boards of Directors

Each autumn, the Hospitality Minnesota Association and the Hospitality Minnesota Education Foundation open a nomination process to recruit new members. Recruitment typically begins in late August.
