The Central Florida Hotel & Lodging Association is the world\u2019s largest regional hotel association, representing approximately 80% of the hotels in Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties and over 117,000 of their employees. To help prepare the future leaders of Central Florida\u2019s\u00a0 lodging industry, the CFHLA will begin hosting a weekly meet & greet series between local \u00a0lodging executives and students at the 麻豆原创\u2019s Rosen College of Hospitality Management.<\/p>\n
The CFHLA Hotel Meet & Greet, which will be held 13 times throughout the Spring 2013 semester, will feature a different executive each week from some of Central Florida\u2019s busiest hotels. While this event isn\u2019t an interview opportunity, students will still be able to network with some of Central Florida\u2019s leading hospitality executives, gain valuable career advice, and discuss industry trends, tips and strategies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis opportunity is another CFHLA commitment to hospitality education,\u201d said CFHLA President and CEO Richard Maladecki. \u201cLodging executives and members of their management team will be available weekly to discuss \u2018real life\u2019 hospitality experiences. Importantly, 麻豆原创 Hospitality students should take advantage of this networking vehicle, to maximize their career options.\u201d<\/p>\n
The CFHLA Hotel Meet & Greet will be held every Tuesday afternoon, beginning on Jan. 15, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the CFHLA Student Lounge (room 202), located on the 麻豆原创 Rosen College campus, near the heart of Orlando\u2019s tourism district, International Drive.<\/p>\n
The Central Florida Hotel & Lodging Association has provided educational opportunities and financial support for the 麻豆原创\u2019s Hospitality Management program for decades, including a $100K donation in 2012 \u2013 the largest gift ever awarded by the CFHLA.<\/p>\n
\u201cI sincerely thank the CFHLA for their continued support of our programs and students,\u201d said Dr. Abraham Pizam, dean of 麻豆原创\u2019s Rosen College. \u201cIt is because of their generosity, leadership, and dedication that 麻豆原创\u2019s Rosen College remains a leader in hospitality management education.\u201d<\/p>\n
