FEDERAL ADVOCACY

As the voice of restaurant and food service industry, the National Restaurant Association advocates for federal policies that help restaurants and their employees thrive in a safe and prosperous customer-driven business environment.

The American Hotel & Lodging Association spearheads the hotel industry’s national advocacy agenda, supporting policies that promote and protect our guests, lead to job growth and creation, and empower employers to foster employee training and career advancement.

​AAHOA is the largest hotel owners' association in the nation. Their mission is to advance and protect the business interests of hotel owners through advocacy, industry leadership, professional development, member benefits, and community engagement.
