โ€œISHA membership is becoming more valuable to each state hospitality and lodging association as we continue to face many of the same issues,โ€ said incoming Board Chair Eric Terry. โ€œIt is a great resource that allows us to connect with our sister associations across the country on important issues such as membership and government affairs.

ISHA serves as a centralized conduit of information that supports its membersโ€™ efforts, particularly where state and local advocacy is concerned. โ€œWe have the collective voice that we use when we talk to AH&LA and AAHOA on national issues. Additionally, ISHA can link our members who need assistance dealing with a particular advocacy issue together with other member hotel and lodging associations that have successfully dealt with similar advocacy or regulatory problems,โ€ said continued Pappas.

The International Society of Hotel Associationsโ€™ industry partners include AH&LA, AAHOA, ARDA, AH&LEF, United Health Group, Best Western, IHG, Hilton, Marriott, Fisher Phillips, Heartland, ServSafe and STR.
