ATLANTA—Women hoteliers from the Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA) are teaming up with Choice Hotels International for a day devoted to helping women hoteliers develop Choice Hotels-brand properties.
AAHOA and Choice have collaborated for 22 years; however, this is the first-ever day focused solely on women developing hotels, according to the organization. Choice Hotels President Patrick Pacious will lead a team of top executives who will host multiple educational seminars aimed at empowering women through the entire process of developing a Choice Hotels property.
“We are excited about this incredible opportunity for women hoteliers to increase their knowledge of hotel development,” said AAHOA Secretary Jagruti Panwala. “Choice Hotels is a global leader and this commitment to both women hoteliers and AAHOA is a prime example of why it has been so successful.”
“It is a great honor to collaborate with AAHOA and together highlight the invaluable contributions women are making in the hotel industry. Cultivating and nurturing future leaders is the best way to ensure our industry has the most talented workforce for tomorrow,” said Pacious.
The development day for women, sponsored by Choice Hotels International, is today at Choice Hotels headquarters in Rockville, MD.
