Join us for an evening of recognition, inspiration, and celebration at HMCHA’s annual Pineapple Dinner & Awards Ceremony - where we honor the outstanding accomplishments of hospitality professionals throughout the Huntsville/Madison County community.

Each year, this signature event shines a spotlight on members who exemplify excellence and professionalism in the hospitality industry. During the ceremony, we will present the Red Ribbon, Pineapple, and Scholarship Awards - along with the culinary awards from our Taste of Huntsville event held in October.

In addition to recognizing individual and organizational achievements, HMCHA will also:

• Announce this year’s educational and professional development scholarship recipients

• Install new officers for the coming year

• Share organizational updates and highlights from another successful year

If you would like to nominate someone for an award, please follow the link below.

SCHOLARSHIPS:

One of the major highlights of the evening is the presentation of scholarships!

We encourage you to share the scholarship applications with your employees, coworkers, or children. Every bit helps when it comes to educational expenses, and we’re proud to support future leaders in hospitality. Details and criteria are outlined on the application form.

SPONSORSHIPS:

Would you like to put your business in front of the best and brightest in our local hospitality industry? Email president@huntsvillehospitality.org for more information about sponsorship opportunities.

SILENT AUCTION:

We introduced a live silent auction at last year's Pineapple Dinner as a way to help raise additional funds for the HMCHA's Scholarship Fund and it was a resounding success - so we're making it an annual addition to the event.  Help support next year’s scholarship fund by donating to or volunteering for our Silent Auction!  If you’d like to contribute an item or assist in securing donations, please email snielsen@vonbrauncenter.com.  The auction will take place in person during the Cocktail Hour before the program begins, and winners will be announced towards the end of the event.

The annual Pineapple Dinner & Awards Ceremony is always a wonderful evening of conversation, camaraderie, and celebration among our hospitality friends and colleagues. We hope you’ll join us - and invite others who would be inspired by this special night honoring the heart of our industry.
