My name is Nathaniel Clarke, and I am reaching out on behalf of a unique and purpose-driven hybrid initiative: The Chamber of Commerce Guest Staff Affairs, doing business as the Hotel Chamber of Commerce, and our nonprofit wing, the Hotel Advocacy Network (HAN). Together, we are redefining what hospitality can look like — not just at the front desk, but in the hearts and minds of every guest and staff member. We believe that fairness, emotional intelligence, and accountability should be embedded in every guest experience. Our mission is built on three pillars:1. Hotel Chamber of Commerce (HCC) – The For-Profit Arm Supports hospitality operations by offering: The EchoConnect Front Desk System, a real-time AI-powered check-in and loyalty audit tool Staff training modules in empathy, decorum, crisis de-escalation, and human trafficking prevention The Sauti Listener system — a venting tool designed to reduce leadership burnout 1. Hotel Advocacy Network (HAN) – Our Nonprofit Force 2. Leads grassroots and institutional advocacy by: 3. Promoting ethical hospitality standards 4. Offering emotional intelligence programs to under-served communities 5. Campaigning for policy change, diversity, and staff dignity3. League of Hospitality Guardians – The Next Generation of Leadership 6. This signature program under HAN trains and certifies Hospitality Heroes who exemplify: 7. H = Hospitable, E = Empathy, R = Resolution, O = Ownership. 8. Students who intern with us become part of this larger ecosystem — learning from real-world business, tech, and nonprofit experiences, while contributing to meaningful social change. Open Intern Roles: Marketing & Social Media Intern – Create campaigns and promote outreach Nonprofit & Grant Writing Intern – Assist with funding proposals and impact storytelling Tech & Automation Intern – Work on our EchoConnect platform Hospitality Training Support Intern – Help build and document empathy + decorum modules All roles are remote-friendly, with flexible hours, and eligible for college credit (if approved by your institution). Interns receive professional mentorship, a letter of recommendation, and the chance to directly impact the future of hospitality. I've attached a full flyer and listing for your review. We’d love if you could circulate it among your students or post to your job/internship board. Thank you for your time and dedication to student growth. Together, we can build a fairer, smarter, and more human-centered hospitality industry. Warm regards, Nathaniel Clarke Founder, Hotel Chamber of Commerce & Hotel Advocacy Network
