HMWIUSA Attends ACF Long Island Hospitality Expo — April 6th

The Hospitality Mental Wellness Initiative USA (HMWIUSA) is grateful to have received an invitation to the Long Island Hospitality Expo, held on April 6th, 2026, at the beautiful Marriott Hotel in Melville, New York. The organization's presence at this important industry gathering underscores its commitment to ensuring that hospitality professionals are aware of the critical services and support it provides.

By engaging directly with chefs, restaurateurs, and hospitality leaders, the HMWIUSA continues to elevate awareness around mental health and wellness resources tailored specifically for those working within the industry. Events like the ACF Long Island Hospitality Expo represent exactly the kind of platform where these conversations need to happen — where the people who need support most are gathered in one room.

“Their partnership and shared dedication to positive change made the opportunity to participate even more meaningful.”

The Board of Directors extends its sincere thanks to the entire event committee, with special appreciation to Andrew Greene for believing in the HMWIUSA's vision for a better, more supportive hospitality industry. His support and the committee's openness to welcoming HMWIUSA into this space reflects a growing recognition within the culinary community that mental health is not a peripheral concern — it is central to the industry's future.

The organization looks forward to building on this momentum and fostering future collaborations with the Long Island Chapter of the American Culinary Federation, further strengthening efforts to support hospitality professionals across the region. The connections made at the Expo are a foundation for lasting partnerships that will help bring mental health resources to more kitchens, more dining rooms, and more lives.
