🎉 Reflecting on an Incredible Year with Nashville Kitchen Cabinet! 🎉
What an amazing journey it’s been to launch and lead the Nashville Kitchen Cabinet (NKC) program this year! In just 7 months, we hosted 10 impactful events through the National Restaurant Association’s NKC Grant, covering everything from workforce development and ADA accommodations, to food and beverage tourism and holiday safety. We wrapped up our final event of the year this morning at the beautiful Hilton BNA Nashville Airport Terminal and my team surprising me with a congratulatory cake was the sweetest way to celebrate all we have accomplished together 🍰
I’m beyond grateful to have been entrusted with executing this program in its first year and in my first year with the Tennessee Hospitality & Tourism Association. A huge thank you to Sara Beth Urban for her support and guidance as I navigated this exciting new role, and to Leesa LeClaire
and Annie Garrett with GNHA for their partnership in making so many of these events possible & successful!
Highlights this year:
✨ Collaborating with government officials, city council members, and industry leaders.
✨ Building connections and growing the NKC community with new members and exciting partnerships.
✨ Amplifying the voices of Nashville restaurants!
This year has shown me how much our industry can achieve when we come together. The conversations we’ve started inspire me for all that’s ahead in 2025. Here’s to growing an even stronger, more connected hospitality community in Nashville & across the state! 🎉
