WLA CHAMPIONS YOUR SUCCESS WITH EFFECTIVE ADVOCACY, MONEY-SAVING BENEFITS, VITAL PROGRAMS AND INDISPENSABLE RESOURCES.
“WLA champions our industry and brings far more resources, expertise and clout to a cause than any individual hotel could muster on its own. Its success benefits our bottom line and the industry as a whole.” -Zahoor Ahmed, Chief Financial Officer & Vice President at R.C. Hedreen Company
“Each of our hotels is a member because each benefits – and because membership gives WLA the leverage to work so effectively for us. WLA is a tremendous resource.” -Shaiza Damji, Managing Director at 360 Hotel Group
“I depend on WLA for resources I wouldn’t have otherwise. I bring members of my team to the annual convention because the quality of information and the connections we make are priceless.” -David Watkins, General Manager at Inn at the Market

IF YOUR BUSINESS SERVES THE LODGING INDUSTRY, AN ALLIED MEMBERSHIP IS A MUST.
“The hospitality industry represents about 30% of our business, and WLA played a big part in building it to that level. If your business serves the lodging industry, you just have to be a WLA member." -Scott Grieben, President of Tri-Tec Communications
“Membership is a great way to connect to the industry. It keeps me informed, helping me work proactively to serve my clients. I also appreciate that WLA consistently supports its allied members and values the resources we bring hoteliers.” -Julie Eisenhauer, CPA, Principal at Clark Nuber, PS
“When I’m looking for products and services I always turn to WLA first. I just ordered furniture from a vendor who has been an allied member for years. We wouldn’t have connected if it hadn’t been for WLA.” -Karl Ruether, CHA, CFBE, General Manager of Best Western Plus Icicle Inn
