On Wednesday, April 24, AAHOA Mid-South Ambassadors, along with members from Gatlinburg and Tennessee's 1st congressional district, recently had the privilege of welcoming Rep. Diana Harshbarger to AAHOA Member-owned Glenstone Lodge for a unique AAHOA back-of-the-house tour.

The congresswoman rolled up her sleeves, exploring the inner workings of the hotel and touring the property with the staff. She aided in making hotel beds and even got creative in the kitchen, making her own pizza!

The visit provided a valuable opportunity to discuss the hospitality industry's importance in the local economy and build connections with our elected officials. It was a memorable day of hands-on learning and community building.
