“At FHRM, we are deeply committed to educating MCPS students about the exciting and rewarding opportunities in the hospitality industry,” said David Child, General Manager, Bethesda North Marriott and President of the FHRM Board. “Whether you hold a college degree or not, the industry provides a clear path for growth and success. I, like many others, started my career as a dishwasher. With passion, persistence, and a willingness to learn, anyone can build a successful career in this field.”
Sponsorships & Tickets Available
All Golf Sponsorships include a foursome and generous sponsorship recognition. Participants will enjoy The Crossvines' championship golf course and world-class facilities, including a 2-acre short game practice area and range.
“The MCPS Foundation Office gives students a better understanding of the wide-ranging opportunities available in hospitality—such as human resources, information technology, sales, leadership, and event management,” said Lizz Durante, President of the Hospitality Services Group for PNI•HCM and FHRM Invitational Gold Sponsor.
“Our company has hosted several field trips to our facilities,” added Alan Squier, President of Squier Associates and another Gold Sponsor. “Students learn firsthand about the wide range of career possibilities in hospitality, from restaurant management and ownership to distribution and kitchen design.”
“The hospitality community and FHRM business partners have been incredibly generous in supporting MCPS students by providing career exploration opportunities, business visits, curriculum updates, career-enriching experiences, and scholarships,” said Steve Boden, MCPS Foundation Office Supervisor. “This exemplary partnership will have a long-lasting positive impact on our schools, programs, and students.”
“It is incredibly rewarding to be a part of FHRM and the extraordinary work we do to develop and nurture the next generation of hospitality and restaurant talent,” said Porsche Pettiford, Vice President, Hotel Openings and Transitions, Marriott International.
