ABOUT US

Art of Hospitality Workers Alliance is a non-for-profit school founded and funded by Frank and Jeanne Cretella of Landmark Hospitality.

This school was established in 2019 as way for the Cretella’s to give back to the industry that has done so much for them.  Currently there are schools in Jersey City, Plainfield and coming soon Summit, NJ.

“Frank and I have a vision of transforming the industry by focusing on how to make our team members lives better as well as the communities they live in.”
