How to Honor Outstanding Members of your Team

The Heart for Hospitality Celebration, curated by OHLA, streamlines the process of acknowledging and rewarding outstanding team members in the hospitality sector. OHLA has simplified the entire procedure, eliminating the need for intricate criteria or nomination submissions. Recognizing your exceptional team members becomes as easy as identifying them, registering each for the event, and designating them as an 'Honoree' to ensure their celebration during the event. The OHLA takes care of the rest!

Perks & Prizes
Your Honorees will be the exclusive guests at the luncheon, treated to a personalized commemorative gift courtesy of ECOLAB. Additionally, Honorees are eligible for exciting perks, including raffle prizes, cash drawings, complimentary team photos, and, notably, the chance to win the $1,000 Grand Prize Drawing presented by Auto-Chlor System!

OHLA Awards
The OHLA will also present the distinguished Excellence in Leadership Award and the Heart for Hospitality Award. OHLA members may nominate in both these categories based on the criteria of each, and before the deadline of December 1, 2023. For more details regarding the nomination process, please click on this link.
