OHLA Member "Hotels On The Hill" Scholarship

The Oklahoma Hotel & Lodging Association is pleased to present the OHLA Member "Hotels on the Hill" Legislative Action Summit Scholarship annually. OHLA is pleased to offer a $1,500 travel scholarship to one OHLA member. Applications are officially open, so we encourage you to nominate yourself today!


This scholarship enables one OHLA member to join the Oklahoma Hotel & Lodging Association and a group of their Oklahoma peers as we travel to Washington, D.C., to attend Hotels on the Hill, a Legislative Summit presented by the American Hotel & Lodging Association. The event will be held on May 15-172023, and the host hotel will be announced soon.

Our recipient of the scholarship will join the Oklahoma delegation on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., to discuss issues of importance to the lodging industry during meetings with Oklahoma's elected leadership and in AHLA conference sessions during the Summit. In addition, our group enjoys dining experiences and local sites together. Hotels on the Hill (formerly called AHLA Legislative Action Summit) remains the most effective way to show our strength and to make an impact with key policymakers. In recent years we have seen direct and impressive results from our visits to Capitol Hill. Big issues like workforce, immigration, technology/tax, and travel/tourism impact the lodging industry, and we need to join together to make our voices heard.

Our issues are too important to leave to others. Supporting these initiatives should be a priority of all lodging professionals, and OHLA encourages members of Oklahoma's lodging industry to be instrumental advocates! No other conference offers the same level of access, insight, or influence.
 
Join with other Oklahoma hoteliers in telling Congress why the lodging industry is vital to the economy. Apply for the OHLA Member "Hotels on the Hill" Scholarship.

The deadline to apply is January 16, 2023For more information or to apply, click here.
