Developing Women Leaders in Hospitality | Silvia Camarota and Rachel Humphrey

Why did so many women leave hospitality and travel during the pandemic, and what will it take to bring them back and help them grow? Greg Aden talks with Silvia Camarota, founder of Women in Travel Thrive, and advisor Rachel Humphrey about women in hospitality leadership and the long term impact of lost promotions, furloughs and career pauses on the future of female leaders.

In this conversation: - How Women in Travel Thrive started in 2020 from a mentor's push and a colleague who said she was done baking bread and ready to act - Why the organization stays a barrier free 501c3 with no membership fees, and how its free mentorship match works - What the empowerment bundles include, from coaching and interview preparation to resume help and headshots, for women growing in or re-entering the industry - Practical ways volunteers, companies and sponsors can help, plus Rachel's move from 20 years as a trial lawyer to chief operating officer at AAHOA
