March is Women's History Month, and in hospitality, it’s a meaningful opportunity to recognize the women who help shape the experiences our industry is known for.

Across hotels, restaurants, attractions, and tourism organizations, women play a vital role in creating welcoming spaces, leading teams, mentoring the next generation, and driving innovation throughout the industry. Their leadership, creativity, and dedication are essential to the success and growth of hospitality in Nashville. This month, we encourage you to take a moment to recognize the women on your teams who make hospitality what it is!

There’s nothing better than gathering with our hospitality community on a beautiful Nashville afternoon (event if we dipped right back to freezing the next day!)

Last week’s Happy Hour at Fairlane Hotel was one to remember. We soaked in the sunshine on the patio, made new connections, and were thrilled to welcome so many new faces to the GNHA community.

Moments like these are what our industry is all about - building relationships and strengthening the network that keeps Nashville thriving.

To everyone who joined us, thank you for bringing the energy and enthusiasm. And if you haven’t made it to a GNHA event yet, consider this your invitation. We’d love to see you at the next one.

Stay tuned for upcoming events and come grow with us.

TN ProStart is always an event to remember! High schools from across the state gathered to showcase their culinary and restaurant management skills in a timed competition. Seeing the creativity, passion, and drive of these students was truly inspiring! Once again, we are reminded that the future of hospitality is in good hands.

Last week, as Leesa and Annie attended the Academies of Nashville Partnership Council, we were greeted by an incredible group of student ambassadors at Glencliff High School. They guided all business partners through the school, participated in conversations around AI, and facilitate discussions with business partners. It was a beautiful reminder that the future of our workforce is bright! Thank you, Glencliff High School, for producing such capable and impressive students.

We had the privilege to come together with our GNHA community to celebrate the successes of 2025 and to kick off 2026 at the beautiful Hermitage Hotel. It was truly a night to remember. Thank you to everyone who attended and cheers to 2026!
