"This year's ISHA Conference was my first. I was delighted to receive the scholarship as I'm not sure it would have been possible for me to attend without it. I made so many useful connections and really enjoyed all of the speakers. The conference was efficiently executed and provided the perfect opportunity to meet with other state associations and learn more about their business goals and member benefits. The conference provided a lot of useful information that I know will be beneficial and aid in the success of my career. I am grateful for the scholarship and the opportunity to be a part of such an engaging conference."

"From the very start, I found ISHA to be an essential tool to the ongoing success of my association. It is imperative for any association executive to procure the most current and robust knowledge and understanding of the industry in which they represent and the environment in which their association operates. The International Society of Hotel Associations brings so much more. Throughout my involvement with ISHA, I have not only been able to gain the necessary knowledge, research and understanding of our industry, but more importantly ISHA has provided an avenue to build and establish strong relationships with like-minded association professionals. It is because of ISHA that I am able to leverage those best practices and those unique connections to maximize my ability to grow my association through membership, strengthen our governmental affairs efforts, and enhance our presence statewide."
