AHLA has had the privilege of being recognized by a few respected organizations in recent weeks, underscoring our collective efforts to best represent the vibrant and dynamic hotel industry.
As a result of our response to the coronavirus pandemic, AHLA has been recognized by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) as one of the 100 Associations that Will Save the World. The hotel industry was among the first industries impacted by the pandemic and will be one of the last to recover. Throughout, AHLA has continued to support our devastated members by advocating for Congressional relief, sharing the tragic stories of impact with the media, commissioning valuable research to quantify the economic and human toll and providing educational and informational resources, all while remaining in awe of the resiliency of our industry and the people who support it.
