Our team at the RI Hospitality Association (RIHA) is excited to announce significant and transformative changes to our annual Stars of the Industry event. This marks a shift toward greater inclusivity, aiming to honor the entire hospitality sector in Rhode Island, which is home to 80,000 resolute individuals. Having served on the RIHA Board for six years, including two as Chair, I have seen the dedication and hard work that defines our industry. These experiences have led to a desire to recognize more comprehensively the contributions of those who keep our industry thriving.
