Laura Lee Blake, AAHOA President and CEO, has been named one of Hotel Management’s Top Influential Women in Hospitality.
“I am so highly honored to have been selected as an influential woman in the industry by HOTEL MANAGEMENT Magazine in its October 2022 issue,” Blake shared on LinkedIn. “With our first HerOwnership conference around the corner, I am thrilled to see doors opening for women in hospitality. Together we can foster, promote, and empower women entrepreneurs to shatter the glass ceiling and pursue their entrepreneurial journey.”
Although Blake was in the legal field full-time prior to joining the association this summer, she served as AAHOA’s general counsel and VP-fair franchising and government affairs from 2005 to 2014. Blake’s decade of experience and legal background have proven valuable and unstoppable as she champions America’s hotel owners.
Additionally, Blake is working on long-term solutions to achieve fairness in franchising for AAHOA Members, voicing hotel owners’ concerns on important advocacy issues at federal, state and local levels and, she said, “unifying our members to rally together, speak out and stand firm on the issues that are most important for their businesses, their families and their communities.”
“With AAHOA continuing to strengthen its influence in the hotel industry and political circles, this provides a new platform to voice our concerns and make a true difference for the benefit of our members. I am looking forward to the challenges ahead and loving every minute of it,” she said.
