Investor Breakfast Series "Breaking Ground: The Peridot Hotel Investment"

Join the Black Hoteliers & Investors Association (BH&IA) for an intimate, high-value breakfast experience designed for investors, hospitality leaders, and mission-driven capital partners.

Over breakfast, you’ll gain exclusive access to:
