Advisory Board
We can’t do it alone! Here at the Women Leading Travel & Hospitality we rely heavily on a stellar group of the brightest and smartest executive women we know in travel and hospitality, also known as our Advisory Board! We regularly reach out to them for advice, ideas and perspectives on topics such as content and speakers for our events, new products, articles for our e-letter…basically everything! Our goal is to always have advisors who have a wide range of experiences in the travel and hospitality space. They have to be passionate about what they do and a desire to generously share their knowledge and lessons learned with others. Check out our board below, I think we’ve met our goal!
