Seminar: On the House: The Other Side of Service

Speakers: Linda Douglas and Touré Folkes

The hospitality industry thrives on connection — but what happens when we extend that spirit beyond the bar and into our communities? This seminar explores the vast spectrum of ways to do good: starting a nonprofit, building mutual aid networks, championing career development, supporting community organizations, or simply finding the path that’s uniquely yours. Join Linda Douglas and Touré Folkes for actionable insights, real-world examples, and practical tools to help you identify your role in building stronger, more equitable communities. More than ever, we need to not only look for the helpers — we need to become them to reflect real social change.
