Dine Out Boston started this past Sunday and is available until August 16! We have incredible restaurant partners participating this year and look forward to everyone getting out with their friends, colleagues and families. Participating restaurants offer prix fixe menus for lunch and dinner.

The Summer Dine Out Boston Auction will benefit our charitable partners City Strings United and Community Work Services. The community can support these great organizations by bidding on $100 gift certificates from our participating restaurants.

Also, new this year, we are excited to launch a Dine Out Boston Rewards Pass whereby dining at participating restaurants earns points toward exciting prizes!

As we continue building momentum through the Promoting Advancement in Tourism & Hospitality (P.A.T.H.) program, we want to remind all partners to submit job descriptions for any current or upcoming roles you are hiring for.

The team at CHA is actively working to connect qualified, diverse candidates to meaningful opportunities across the tourism and hospitality sector and your job postings are a critical piece of this effort. If you haven’t already, please submit your open positions through the P.A.T.H. portal so we can help support your hiring needs.

We also invite you to join our upcoming monthly P.A.T.H. partner call to stay connected, share updates, and hear about candidate placements and partner successes. These calls are a great opportunity to align shared goals and keep our collective work moving forward. Please email us at path@conanharrisassociates.com to be included in these monthly calls. 

Here are this month's updates:

Thank you to all who joined us for our July Open House at The Berkeley Bistro + Bar at Hotel AKA Back Bay featuring a reception-style breakfast. We hope you had an opportunity to tour the property and enjoy game stations on the outdoor terrace!

Congrats to Cherie Allen, Director of Sales at Copley Square Hotel - she won the prize package of The Moonwalkers: A Journey with Tom Hanks and an overnight stay at Hotel AKA and breakfast. Congratulations!
