About this Event
Join us for Everyone Matters, a FREE interactive workshop designed to strengthen hospitality skills, create memorable visitor experiences, and bring our community together around a shared commitment to service.
Ready to bring more heart to hospitality? Everyone Matters helps participants understand the powerful role they play in shaping how visitors experience our destination—and how those moments support our local economy and community pride. Thanks to funding support, this training is offered at no cost to attend. Simply register and come ready to learn, connect, and be inspired.

Together, we’ll explore how customer experiences shape our community, practice simple and practical ways to create memorable moments, and connect with others who help make our hospitality and tourism industry thrive.
Whether you’re welcoming guests at the front desk, serving customers at a local restaurant, managing a team, or supporting visitors behind the scenes, this training is for you.
