Since 2020, HMCHA has asked the community to nominate for two categories: Rising Star, and Outstanding Team.  Nominations for both categories are voted on by Membership and announced at the annual Pineapple Awards & Dinner Celebration.  These awards are in recognition of the outstanding individuals and teams in our Hospitality Industry presented by the people of our industry.  The nominations will take place from now through January 3, 2025.  Once all of the nominations are collected, a survey will be distributed in which all members may cast their vote for the winners of each category.  Voting will take place via survey January 6, 2025 through January 10, 2025.   Voting will be restricted to one vote per member property.

We invite you to nominate your employees and/or entire team for the following awards:
