The Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association Nepal (HSAMA) has announced its decision to focus on social responsibility this year, with the launch of a blood donation program as its first major community engagement initiative. Dipak Pokhrel, a representative of the association, emphasized that the event marks the beginning of their broader efforts to contribute positively to society.
“The goal is not only to excel within the hospitality industry but also to actively participate in social causes. We encourage all our members to contribute and make this event a success,” Pokhrel shared.
In addition to the blood donation drive, the event will also serve as an opportunity to finalize the executive committee for the association. Once the office bearers are selected, HSAMA will officially register as a formal entity. Following this, an annual plan will be devised to guide the association’s activities for the year, according to Pokhrel.
The blood donation program will be held on February 8, 2025 (26 Magh, 2081), from 10 am to 2 pm at Crystal Pashupati, Gaushala, Kathmandu. The event is supported by Crystal Pashupati.
Current Executive Members of HSAMA:
