Mary White Educational Scholarship Fund
Mary White’s dedication to Innkeeper education began many years ago with her bnbfinder client newsletters and was recognized globally as the author of the Innkeeping for Dummies book. Mary was not only the founder of bnbfinder but an incredible woman, friend, and leader in our industry. With The Mary White Educational Scholarship Fund, we are honoring Mary’s desire to continue to promote and sustain that mission by providing aspiring innkeepers access to the educational tools they need to be successful in our industry.
The Fund will provide scholarships for qualified aspiring innkeepers to join the Association of Lodging Professionals at no charge for their introductory year, providing full access to the member newsletters, webinars, and conferences at member pricing. Applicants must complete a qualification questionnaire to be reviewed by the selection committee.
Membership is open to all aspiring lodging professionals and is for one year.
Other Opportunities
In addition to the various benefits shown there are also many other opportunities to participate in the association. The staff, board, and committee members are championing the advancement of the industry for independent lodging properties and we welcome more of our members to volunteer and have their voices heard.
