Paragon Award

In 1999, HFTP established the annual, prestigious Paragon Award to recognize individuals who have made a significant and lasting contribution to both HFTP and the hospitality industry.

Paragon Award nominees can be HFTP members; representatives of industry-related associations, societies, or trade publications; or leaders from hospitality businesses, educational institutions, and other related disciplines. A panel of industry experts selects the award winner.

For more information on the Paragon Award, contact Eliza Selig.

Congratulations to Robert Mandelbaum, 2024 Paragon Award recipient!
