Inclusive Hospitality: Preparing Future Leaders for Disability Awareness

The fireside chat, titled "Inclusive Hospitality: Preparing Future Leaders for Disability Awareness," features Apoorva, Senior Vice President of Multicultural Affairs, Social Impact, and Business Councils at Marriott International, discussing the critical role of disability awareness in hospitality education. Aimed at academics, the event will explore effective strategies for integrating inclusivity into curricula, empowering educators to prepare the next generation of hospitality leaders for a diverse and evolving workforce. As many organizations embrace the "other-abled" workforce, it is essential for students to understand how to lead and manage this diverse talent effectively. Attendees will gain insights from Apoorva's personal experiences and Marriott’s initiatives, fostering a collaborative dialogue around accessibility in the industry.

Who Should Attend: This event is open to all ICHRIE members and students.
