In this inspiring episode of Lobby Talks, we explore how hospitality can go beyond guest check-ins and ballroom events to make a lasting impact both internally and within the local community. Host Donna Moore, Chairperson of the CARE Committee at Marriott Tulsa Southern Hills, sits down with Ravi Sharma, General Manager of the property, to discuss how hotels, regardless of size, can build powerful community impact teams that uplift both hotel associates and the neighborhoods they serve.

From organizing food drives, collecting school supplies for local students, to bringing a little fun and team spirit to the workplace, this conversation offers practical insights for hotel general managers, HR directors, and hospitality leaders looking to strengthen their hotel's culture and community engagement.

Discover how creating an in-house CARE committee or employee-driven outreach group can boost staff morale, improve retention, and reinforce your hotel's reputation as a pillar in the local area. Whether you run a boutique property or a full-service flagship hotel, this episode is a roadmap to turning your team's passion into purpose, starting from the ground up.
