Cincy Hospitality Professionals

Cincy Hospitality Professionals (CHP) is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to promoting excellent service throughout the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region through education and networking to encourage repeat business.  Our membership is made up of sales and marketing professionals from tourism, hospitality, restaurant, transportation, and attraction businesses in Southwestern Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana (the Greater Cincinnati Metropolitan area). We host quarterly lunch meetings at different member locations to learn what's new, what is happening that could affect our businesses, and for professional development.

CHP produces the annual ROSE Awards celebration to honor and recognize the very best front-line and service individuals (excluding managers) who provide excellence beyond the normal call of duty for visitors to Greater Cincinnati.  ROSE Award recipients are selected by a seasoned panel of industry professionals from nominees submitted for excellent service during the 12 months before the event.

Nominees include, but are not limited to, the following categories:

Attractions: Housekeeping, ticket takers, ushers, docents, desk personnel.

Hotels: Front desk, housekeeping, bellmen (includes full and select service properties).

Restaurants: Kitchen staff, host/hostesses, servers, bartenders.

Retail: Clerks and storekeepers.

Transportation: Airport/airline personnel, bus/taxi drivers.
