OREGON HOSPITALITY FOUNDATION

Oregon's Hospitality and Tourism Industry is your favorite neighborhood restaurant, the hotel where you celebrate your anniversary, the ski resort where you teach your kids to ski, and the rafting guide who helps you safely explore the wonders of the river. It's also the people behind the operations, who offer hospitality and service so that you can enjoy, explore, and relish all that Oregon offers. The Oregon Hospitality Foundation supports this industry with a mission to meet the workforce, educational, training, and philanthropic needs of Oregon’s restaurant and lodging industry.
