2026-2027 Board of Directors

Black Tie Dinner is a student led organization composed of 17 eager Board Members. The dedication of these young aspiring professionals is unmatched. Although it only happens once a year, in reality it is the outcome of research, innovation, recruitment, training, professionalism, adaptability and overall retention for future leaders.

Additionally, our sincere gratitude must be given to our four exceptional advisors. Their wisdom, expertise, and guidance shape our board and each dinner. They have not only influenced the success of the Black Tie Dinner, but also the lives of many Purdue Hospitality and Tourism Management students.
