Meetings Today Magazine named Timothy S.Y. Lam Foundation (TSYLF) Board Director, Joshua Jones, DMCP, one of the top 20 industry professionals in the 2020 Meeting Trendsetters list. With additional support from the board, Jones was the driving force behind creating a $200,000 hospitality relief grant fund for hospitality professionals financially impacted by COVID-19. 71% of the $500 relief grants went to hospitality workers in Las Vegas, one of the cities most financially affected by the pandemic.

From a global pandemic that decimated the hospitality industry to a police killing that sparked protests and activism across the nation and the world, Meetings Today decided to “change the rules” of their annual Meetings Trendsetters to focus on the people who rose up during these challenging times.

“What an amazing honor to be recognized alongside such wonderful people that are making a difference for others.  The Timothy S.Y. Lam Foundation provides support to industry professionals in so many ways and this relief grant was another example of that, and one that really hit home to me with so many affected.  It’s our responsibility as hospitality professionals to help one another and this community always seems to step up when needed most, and I’m very proud of that.” Josh Jones, DMCP said.  In addition to serving as board director for Timothy S.Y. Lam Foundation, Joshua Jones is regional president for Hosts Global.
