West (WFCHRIE) Federation Michelle Millar  University of San Francisco [email protected]

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I am Michelle Millar, Hospitality Professor at the University of San Francisco, and I am honored to be serving as your West Federation CHRIE president for 2024-2025. I have been in hospitality and tourism management education for 15 years, after working in the industry for 14 years. I joined ICHRIE/WFCHRIE as a PHD student at UNLV in 2011 and have been involved ever-since.  I appreciate and value the friendships and relationships I have made over those years and look forward to creating many more!

I am also honored to be working with the fantastic WFCHRIE board, shown below. Our collective goal is to bring value to your membership, whether through a conference, mentoring, or professional workshops.  Stay tuned for more details, and check out our social media outlets for updates (website, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn).  You can also email me directly with any questions, ideas, or to say hello.  Keep in touch!

Cheers,
Michelle Millar, PhD
