HerOwnership is here to help women navigate the ownership journey and help them learn to discern which feedback would be most helpful in improving their performance," said AAHOA Women Hoteliers Director, Eastern Division Purnima Patel.

“I want women to embrace the opportunity to step into the vibrant world of the hotel industry with HerOwnership. Your journey toward success isn't just about personal growth; it's a beacon of hope and empowerment for others. Let's walk this path together, lifting each other up, fostering a community where every woman's voice is heard, and dreams are realized.
