Mission & Focus Areas

AHLA’s stated mission is to serve the U.S. lodging industry through representation at the federal, state, and local levels, including government-affairs advocacy, research, workforce development, communications, and member services such as conferences and events. Its website describes advocacy priorities that include protecting hotel guests, supporting workforce needs, promoting a level playing field with alternative accommodations, and advancing sustainability, diversity, and safety.

The 2024 grants included support for organizations with varied stated missions. Angelenos Protecting Hospitality says it advocates for a vibrant tourism economy; the Alliance for Stronger Communities says it advocates for safety and affordable housing; and the Massachusetts Lodging Association says it provides legislative and regulatory representation, education and training, information services, and marketing assistance to lodging establishments. Other recipients included the American Legislative Exchange Council, which describes itself as a forum for exchanging ideas and developing potential solutions, and Running Start, which says it trains young women to run for political office.

AHLA’s website also describes the AHLA Foundation’s scholarship and workforce programs. These are Foundation programs, not evidence of AHLA’s grants to outside organizations.
