AustinHLA HOSTS COUNCIL MEMBER FUNDRAISER BREAKFASTS!

As the Austin Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) embarks on a New Year, one of our primary goals is to continue our direct involvement with our tourism-friendly Austin City Council Members. 2012 is an election year for the following Council Members:

Mayor Lee Leffingwell
Council Member and Mayor Pro Tem Sheryl Cole
Council Member Mike Martinez
Council Member Bill Spellman

On behalf of the AHLA Legislative Committee, we are asking for your financial support and joining us in 4 fundraising breakfasts by donating $50 to $150 per council member (average contribution is $100). The checks would be made out to their respective campaign fund. Checks will be collected in advance of the four fundraisers and presented to each Council Member by our AHLA President Leslie Pchola at each scheduled breakfast (within the next 30-45 days)

Can we count on you as an AHLA member to write 4 checks and bring them to the luncheon at the Hilton next Wednesday?

As you plan your 2011 budgets, we ask you include the Austin Hotel & Lodging Association as an essential line item for professional development. Benefits to membership include educational programming, legislative presence with city and state officials and scholarships for our colleagues in the Austin hotel and lodging industry. Together we can achieve what would be impossible individually.

In the fast-paced business climate in which most hoteliers operate these days – where emails flood our in-boxes and meetings overstuff our schedules – the last thing most hotel management professional want to think about is voluntarily taking on any more “optional” responsibilities.
