IHIF Young Leader Award

The IHIF Young Leader Award was established in 2009 by the International Hotel Investment Forum (IHIF) and the International Society of Hospitality Consultants (ISHC) to recognize and celebrate the excellence of young emerging leaders in the hospitality industry.

Candidates for the IHIF Young Leader award must be under 35 years of age, currently work in a hospitality-related field, have completed a significant project for his or her hotel or organization and be recognized by leaders of his or her own hotel or organization as an emerging leader.

The inaugural IHIF Young Leader Award will be presented to Leslie McGibbon, Senior Vice President Corporate Affairs, InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, at the International Hotel Investment Forum conference in Berlin on March 11, 2009.
