AAHOA’s Fall National Advocacy Conference recap video is out now! It highlights AAHOA’s incredible advocacy momentum and the legislators who showed up for hospitality. This fall, more than 100 hoteliers from all over the country attended the advocacy event on The Hill, making their voices heard loud and clear. These hoteliers met with 118 offices in the Senate and House of Representatives to discuss legislation that can help AAHOA’s nearly 20,000 members and the industry at large thrive. In total, AAHOA Members had direct contact with 54 members of Congress in just one day.
“AAHOA has long understood the importance and significance of advocacy work at the state, local, and federal levels,” said AAHOA Chairman Neal Patel. “Having our voices heard on issues that are important to our members protects and promotes the rights of hotel owners and entrepreneurs in America.”
“From Fair Franchising to the Small Business Administration, providing lawmakers with personal, real-life stories, puts a name and a face to the American hotelier,” said AAHOA President & CEO Laura Lee Blake. “The next time these elected officials go to make decisions, they will remember us – the foundations we are laying in these meetings are critical to our advocacy work going forward.”
