Congratulations to Midwest Regional Director Kalpesh Joshi and our incredible Ambassadors for pulling off a fantastic Hotel Owners Conference & Trade Show! With 160 attendees, we welcomed two new members and raised an impressive $8,600 for PAC!

 

Our event was packed with inspiration and insights from an amazing lineup of speakers: Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), Consul General of India in Chicago Somnath Ghosh, and CBRE Hotels Advisory Consultant Richard Mandigo. Plus, we had special video messages from Waterloo, IA, Mayor Quentin Hart, and Illinois Hotel Lodging Association President/CEO Michael Jacobson!

 

We also introduced an important survey to support our advocacy efforts for the Loans In Our Neighborhoods (LIONS) Act (H.R. 7242), which proposes increasing SBA 7(a) loan limits. Your input is crucial! Complete the brief survey by Saturday, August 31, 2024, to help us push for enhanced financial support benefiting our community and entrepreneurs across America.

 

 

Thank you to everyone who made this event a massive success.
