Women in Hospitality- Book Signing

On February 22, 2025, Tamara O’Neil’s husband, Steven,

died suddenly from a massive heart attack. Within weeks, the

high-performing executive leader faced a devastating and

largely invisible truth: while organizations have bereavement

protocols for employees, most lack effective frameworks when

grief reaches senior leadership.

In her new book, Tamara – a RIHA member -

chronicles what happened next; the silence from

colleagues who cared but didn’t know how to help, the

fractured trust, the impossible tension between healing and

staying, and the systemic failures that almost broke her. 

Join Tamara and Kristen in conversation at Kristen’s home, a former community library built in 1883.

Refreshments will be served. Books will be available for purchase.

Seating is very limited.
