Niki and Robin are delighted to welcome Melissa DelBuono, co-founder of Project Save Hospitality. Melissa was laid off from her job in the hotel industry and came together with her friend Kingsley Egbuchunam to help their colleagues. They started talking to employers outside of the hospitality industry and it became clear that many were unaware of the many skills hospitality workers have and how easily those skills transfer to other careers. Project Save Hospitality's goal is to foster professional development, celebrate hospitality for its many contributions, highlight the amazing workforce and shine a light on the skill set which would immediately transfer the other industries.
