state associations within the US has also
gone a great way to represent members in
necessary forums thereby being a cost-
saving machinery for its members.

6. This achievement is so because the partner
state associations are only those with the same
vision, mission, motto as well as goals that
echo those of American Hotel & Lodging
Association (AH&LA) thereby enabling them to
work together to achieve the best results both
for its members and the lodging industry. This
is a true typical trade union that has fought for
the rights of its members for quite a long span
of time now.

moves up the ladder every year till he

fourteen members from among the
board of director members together with
