Welcome to the world of hospitality.

The Michigan Hospitality Foundation (MHF), formerly known as the Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association Educational Foundation (MRLAEF), opens doors to success in this growing industry.

Whether you’re an industry professional, a business owner, a student, parent or hospitality connoisseur, the Michigan Hospitality Foundation offers opportunities to help you thrive. The mission of MHF is to enhance the hospitality industry’s service to the public through:
​ 
  • Education

We have a vision to create passion and professionalism in Michigan’s hospitality industry. The MHF is committed to fostering equitable and inclusive careers to ensure our employees, from entry level to executive level, are as diverse as the guests we serve.
