The popular adage "there is strength in numbers" is particularly true in an industry like ours where our voice in the political process and ability to offer quality cost-saving programs is based on the number of members and the quality of our membership roster. With over 500 lodging properties in membership, we are your Key Resource when marketing to the Hospitality Industry. As an Allied Member, you will have unlimited access to:

OH&LA Membership lists and/or mailing labels
Our memberships are held by the owners and/or general managers throughout Ohio, giving you the ability to contact the decision-maker. As an OH&LA member you also receive the use of the OH&LA Allied Member logo for your marketing materials.

OH&LA Annual Convention and Trade Show
Each year the OH&LA membership gathers at the Annual Convention & Trade Show for seminars, a hotel-specific trade show and social events. Our Annual Convention and Trade Show is held the Monday before Thanksgiving and typically attracts over 400 members of the hospitality industry.

Local Lodging Council Meetings, GM Receptions, & Luncheon Series
OH&LA hosts local lodging council meetings set by the chair of each local lodging council, and we host one GM Reception in each Ohio region every year. These informal gatherings are a great way to network with our lodging members and educate them on new Allied member products and/or services.

Sponsorship Opportunities
Be seen! Secure a high-profile space for your company's logo and slogan by sponsoring an OHLA event. Sponsorship opportunities include the Annual Conference, GM Receptions, Luncheons, Cleveland Stars of the Industry Awards Banquet, and advertising in the quarterly OhioLodging Magazine and the OhioLodging e-newsletter.

Allied Council
OH&LA provides allied members the opportunity to have a voice in the association. Select OH&LA allied members are invited to join OH&LA’s advisory committee which makes recommendations regarding the structure of allied programs and events.
