Linda Thompson
Linda Thompson was the owner of Cappa and Graham, Inc. in San Francisco, CA and was a driving force in the development of the DMC Network. Linda dedicated herself to mentoring young professionals and raising the level of excellence in the DMC industry.
Not only did Linda run a successful DMC, she also advanced the industry by promoting educational programs and professional certifications. In addition, she was ahead of her time in the sustainability movement and incorporated environmentally ethical and “green” initiatives into her work.
The Linda Thompson Memorial Scholarship (LTMS) takes her leadership, positive spirit, and passion for the DMC industry and transcends it to a deserved student looking to pursue a degree in the hospitality field.
