HM’s Food & Wine is honored to present Dr. Marc Clark’s Point of View on the Human Resources and current trend of the Hospitality Industry.

My career path has been quite interesting over the past three decades.  I’ve held the position of assistant manager, manager, director, vice president and now president.  In all these positions I was wearing the hat of presenter, facilitator, educator, and speaker.  In each of those positions my circle of influence was dictated by my title. I realized that if I wanted to share my experiences with the masses I would have to use a venue that would allow this. Becoming an author and national and international speaker opened this door for me. I truly enjoy the hospitality industry for it has been very good to me; however the truth of the matter is that all industry segments contain the concepts of “hospitality”.
