THANKS FOR JOINING US IN ORLANDO
Just like Disney, AAHOACON24 was a truly magical experience last month in Orlando, FL. Thousands of hotel owners came together to hear world-class keynote speakers, take part in top level education sessions, make deals on the Trade Show floor, and network during the event in Orlando. The annual convention also held the election for the 2024-25 Board of Directors. Congratulations to new AAHOA Secretary Pinal S. Patel and all our newly elected leaders! AAHOA.com/BoardOfDirectors
