TISOH Cares Partners with NACE Las Vegas in Support of Street Teens

Giving back remained a central focus this April through a meaningful collaboration with NACE Las Vegas in support of Street Teens. Street Teens is a volunteer based, non-profit organization dedicated to assisting homeless, abandoned, and at-risk youth in the Las Vegas valley.

Through collective effort, more than $800 in donations was raised, allowing for the creation of over 100 hygiene kits. Contributions also supported items from the organization’s March and April pantry wish list, directly benefiting youth in the Las Vegas community.

This initiative reflects the ongoing commitment to service, reinforcing the role hospitality professionals play not only in guest experience, but in community care. If you would like to learn more about Street Teens Las Vegas, please visit StreetTeens.org.

Connecting Through Coffee: NACE Las Vegas Coffee Chat

Hosted at the Starbucks near Allegiant Stadium, this casual networking event brought together event specialists, catering professionals, and local partners. Participation provided an opportunity to stay engaged in industry conversations while strengthening relationships within the hospitality and events community. We are also proud to see our TISOH alum stay active in the community through associations and partner with other industry professionals in the valley.

NHLA Partner Connect 2026

At NHLA Partner Connect 2026, collaboration and forward-thinking conversations took center stage. Hosted by the Nevada Hotel and Lodging Association, the event gathered hospitality leaders and partners from across the valley. Beyond the booths, featured speakers included Marc Badain and Arik Knowles, who shared updates shaping the future of Las Vegas—from the continued rise of sports entertainment to developments surrounding Bally’s.



The takeaway is clear: Las Vegas continues to evolve at an exciting pace, creating new opportunities across the hospitality landscape.

Empowerment in Practice:

Heels and Handshakes (April Meeting)

The April session of Heels and Handshakes Las Vegas focused on confidence, presence, and professional identity. Featuring panelists Michela Caprara, Andi Singer, and Ebony Rice, moderated by Heels and Handshakes Las Vegas President, Donna Murray. The discussion centered on how style, self-awareness, and authenticity shape professional success.

For those entering hospitality, where guest interaction is constant, these insights reinforced that confidence is developed over time and supported by community.
