"I know firsthand how effective AHLA’s advocacy can be for hotel owners. AHLA’s commitment to engage on legislative issues that protect and strengthen our industry and the AHLA Foundation’s initiatives to advance hotel industry employees and uplift the communities our assets serve are among the many reasons why I remain engaged. My team has had opportunities to participate at every level of the association from committees to events, and I was honored to serve as Chair of the Board. We are proud to support the initiatives of AHLA and encourage all hotel owners to get involved."
