Arizona’s Hospitality Industry Professionals (HIP) know what’s hip from what’s square, and on Wednesday, June 15 the organization will announce its “HIPpest Awards” at its eighth annual anniversary celebration. Brad Curtis, president of the Cactus League, will receive top honors as the region’s HIPpest Industry Leader.
Each year Hospitality Industry Professionals board members select a person or entity in the hospitality industry that has made an impact on the industry as a whole, through economic impact, marketing and giving back to the community. “We are delighted that the Cactus League is our honoree this year,” said HIP president Karen Doan, owner of Karen Doan Events. The Cactus League brings in approximately 300 million dollars to the economy to our state each year, making it one of the biggest tourism events for Arizona. This year they welcomed the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies with addition of the Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, making it even bigger and better. Like HIP, giving back to the community is important to the Cactus League, so what could be a better HIPper mix?
Hospitality Industry Professionals (HIP) will also honor their members with HIPpest Restaurant/Caterer, Venue, Event Planner, and Resort.
