Field Notes

Kate serving as mentor for the WORTH (Women Of Recreation, Tourism and Hospitality)

Kate Colley served as a mentor in the Spring 2026 cohort of the WORTH Mentorship Program and returns again this fall. WORTH, Women of Recreation, Tourism and Hospitality, pairs women working in the industry with mentors for a structured term of career guidance, problem-solving and honest conversation about what the work actually asks of you. For Kate it is a chance to hand along what two decades in hospitality communications has taught her, and to keep learning from the people coming up behind her.

Kate Colley

Kate Colley has worked across nearly every format hospitality offers — destinations, resorts, hotels, restaurants, wineries, and major events — and she brings all of it to every engagement. She led the host property communications strategy for Canada’s G7 Leaders’ Summit at Kananaskis and spent a decade as Director of Communications for Four Seasons Vancouver and Whistler. She has also been an operator — co-owning Naramata Inn, tripling revenue during a pandemic, and doing the kinds of risky, exciting things that look obvious in hindsight. She is a strategist, a marketer, an operator, and an advisor — and oftentimes the person who walks into your business, spots the gap between where you are and where you could be, and helps close it.
