Welcome to WiH Global (WiH)
#StrongerTogether
Bring your best self and together we will raise the game.
After a pause to revisit our strategy and focus on the most impactful initiatives for our global community, WiH Global (WiH) is pleased to announce the following 3 initiatives will be rolled out from June-September 2023:
- WiH online community platform
- WiH global mentoring platform
- Newly introduced WiH Sustainability Council
Members will be contacted prior to launch for those wishing to help lead an initiative.
WiH Global (WiH) stands for women in hospitality and is a global not-for-profit and best-in-class community who believe that by collaborating, we can have greater impact and raise the game to create a hospitality industry which is more diverse and inclusive.
Since 2020, WiH has hosted dozens of talks, initiated a mentoring programme in collaboration with WiHTL, partnered with all leading global hospitality conferences to promote more diverse and inclusive panels and published in 2021 an annual global women’s representation survey to provide insight into women and ethnic minority representation.
The WiH global community includes members cross-segment who Build, Fund, Operate and Advise (BFOA) in hospitality. WiH has 350 global members (300 women & 50 men) across Americas, EMEA and APAC and will be capping at 500 members. The curated community currently represents over 250 companies and 40 countries to ensure the global community drives for positive change with purpose and impact.
'WiH' (initially meaning Women in Hotels) was founded by Lissa Engle in April 2020 as a means for colleagues to connect and have a sense of community during lockdown. Given growing interest in the WiH community, in October 2020, WiH changed to stand for Women in Hospitality and non-profit ‘WiH Global' was officially formed.
