How Hotels Can Make a Real Community Impact: YWCA Tulsa

Great hotels serve guests. Exceptional hotels serve communities.

In this episode of Lobby Talks, we welcome Julie Davis, CEO of YWCA Tulsa, to discuss how hotels, event venues, and hospitality professionals can make a meaningful impact in their communities.

Following the YWCA Tulsa Pinnacle Awards hosted at Marriott Tulsa Southern Hills, our team wanted to learn more about the organization's work and the challenges facing our community. Julie shares insights into YWCA Tulsa's mission, Safe Move Tulsa, homelessness, health equity, immigration services, workforce development, and ways local businesses can get involved.

This conversation is especially valuable for: • Hotel operators and hospitality leaders • Event planners and venue managers • Community-focused businesses • Tulsa residents interested in local impact • Anyone passionate about service and leadership

Topics include community partnerships, inclusive workplaces, supporting vulnerable populations, repurposing hotel resources for good, and using hospitality spaces to create positive change.
