Emerging Leaders is a division of the Nevada Hotel and Lodging Association comprised of young industry professionals under the age of 36. Under the guidance of the NHLA staff, it exists to engage young professionals in the Nevada hospitality and support industries through the development of local resources including networking, mentorship, philanthropic and educational opportunities.
Our Emerging Leaders mentor program pairs NHLA young professionals with experienced leaders in the Nevada hospitality industry. The mentors provide insights, guidance and tools for career success.
The Q1 mentor program will be set up on a virtual basis to begin the session and can progress virtually or in person meetings according to the preferences of the pairings. It will begin January 27. The last meeting of this session will take place March 25 where we will discuss the experience and takeaways. Each participant will receive a digital certificate of completion.
If you are a young professional and looking for growth and development opportunities with established and highly respected leaders in our industry, this program is for you!
If you are an experienced management leader and would like to provide guidance and experience for up-and-coming leaders, we need and welcome you.
