 AAHOA News
Chirag T. Patel, co-founder of the Startup Development Institute and host of the YouTube show and podcast On the Grind, recently interviewed AAHOA President and CEO Chip Rogers about the association’s history, where it's headed, and what drives and inspires him as president of the largest hotel owners' association in the world. Watch it here.
The Castell Project, a non-profit organization focused on increasing diversity in hospitality industry leadership, recently released a report that sheds new light on the state of women in hospitality. The report finds, for example, that men have been 10 times more likely to be promoted to principal, partner and president levels than women. However, there has been a notable increase in the number of female executives speaking at major industry conferences, such as ALIS and AAHOACON. The Castell Project delivers benchmark statistics on women to help the industry improve, support and accelerate development of their high-potential women. Learn more at www.CastellProject.org.
