Sodexo Participates in the First of Five Regional NSMH Events
By Darla Mayse, Senior Recruiter

Sodexo recruiters Anna Hutchinson and Darla Mayse, along with operations partners Allen Malinger and Stephen Wells, recently participated in the National Society of Minorities in Hospitality (NSMH) Midwest Region Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. The conference is an opportunity for its members to gain valuable information to be applied to their personal and professional development from industry leaders.

Highlights of the event included mock interviews, resume critiques, industry roundtables and informative panels such as Shaping a Diverse Workforce of the Future, Personal Branding and Interview Styles. In each session, Sodexo representatives provided professional advice based on experience. Sodexo ’s involvement in these regional events provided great exposure opportunities and allowed us to help students build career planning/job search skills. These skills will help students successfully land their dream jobs.

The National Society of Minorities in Hospitality (NSMH) is the premier professional organization for minority hospitality students. It has grown tremendously from four visionary leaders at Cornell University in 1989 to over 1200 student members across the nation. Sodexo has been deeply involved and will continue to do so given the quality of the students and the remarkable management and intern hiring results we experienced at the 2007 NSMH National Conference.
