Every hotel has a few empty rooms each year — but what if those rooms could help someone build a better life?

I spoke with David Bowman, co-founder of the Bowman Post Foundation, about how his organization is transforming unused hotel inventory into scholarships and educational support for hospitality employees.

On #NoVacancyNews, David explains how the program works, how hotels can easily participate at no cost, and the ripple effect it creates when employees see their own companies helping them grow.
