Texas hotelier Miraj S. Patel has been appointed Chairman of the Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA), becoming the youngest to serve in this position in the organization’s 35-year history. The Indian American was named Chairman after the AAHOA Convention & Trade Show, held recently in Orlando, FL. Nearly 6,500 hoteliers and vendors attended the event held April 2-5.

Addressing the convention after his appointment, Patel said he is “honored” to serve America’s hotel owners as the newest chairman. “I am committed to helping solve some of the industry’s toughest challenges with simple and straightforward solutions and putting our members at the center of every decision we make.”

He promised “to lay the foundation for a tomorrow that reflects the aspirations, needs, and challenges of today” and “strive to work alongside the board of directors to shape a future where we are pioneering new ways of thinking, a collaborative spirit, and results.” Crediting AAHOA for his success, he said it is “incredibly reassuring to know the same is true for so many other members.”
