Program Description:

Hassel was inspired to co-found Not 9 to 5, a non-profit that empowers food service service workers like herself. As Not 9 to 5’s Executive Director, this industry vanguard has made it her mission to dismantle the brigade system, so hospitality and restaurant workers can thrive. The organization provides support for mental health and substance use by mobilizing educational resources and creating safe space communities. Hassel’s strategic planning abilities helped grow Not 9 to 5 from a series of workshops, panels, and webinars into a global vehicle for change. Now, with CNECTing – Not 9 to 5’s online educational platform, Hassel aspires to start a worldwide hospitality revolution to create work environments that are inclusive and proactive, rather than top-down and reactive.
