AH&LA Legislative Action Summit (8:00 am - 10:00 am)
This year, AH&LA’s Legislative Action Summit (LAS) falls during the perfect time to make an impact during the 2012 Presidential election year.
While union leadership is aggressively promoting its agenda and hoteliers are facing costly and harmful regulations, we need the lodging industry to join together on Capitol Hill to make our voices heard. The Travel Promotion Act and Card Check were won due to dedicated hoteliers speaking to Congressional leaders about the impact of the legislation. Our issues are too important to leave to others; it is your responsibility as a leader in our industry to be here.
No other conference offers the same level of access, insight, and influence. Join with other hotel owners, general managers, and CEOs to tell Congress why the lodging industry is vital.
