CMAA Opening Business Session Featuring Restaurateur and Author Will Guidara

Will Guidara is the author of the national bestseller, Unreasonable Hospitality: The Remarkable Power of Giving People More Than They Expect, which chronicles the lessons in service and leadership he has learned over the course of his career in restaurants. He will share valuable insights into why “service is the new luxury” and how to succeed in today’s “hospitality economy.”

Guidara is the former co-owner of Eleven Madison Park, which under his leadership received four stars from the New York Times, three Michelin stars, and in 2017 was named #1 on the list of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants. He is a graduate of the hospitality school at Cornell University, has coauthored four cookbooks, was named one of Crain's New York Business's 40 Under 40, and is the recipient of WSJ Magazine's Innovator Award.

The Opening Business Session is the official World Conference kick off. Meet the candidates for the 2024 CMAA Board of Directors during the Candidates’ Forum. Honor and recognize the professional development achievements of CMAA members, including the 2023 Certified Club Managers, Certified Chief Executives, and Master Club Managers, and be present for the unveiling of the 2023 class of CMAA Fellows. President & CEO Jeff Morgan, FASAE, CAE, will highlight key developments in the annual State of the Association address.
